if its possible I'd like a post of f/o helping s/I with chronic pain. I have Ehlers-danlos and get pain a lot, + my joints are injured easily, and i like some f/o comfort :)) take your time and do it whenever!
Finally tackling this ask!
Maybe f/o notices when you get flare ups? How you might start moving differently to avoid it or put of doing certain things because it hurts. Or they know you have been pushing yourself a little too hard and know that sometimes the results might not be very pretty. Or maybe it's just one of those days. Maybe they ask whats wrong or maybe you even outright tell them.
Either way their response is to try and help in any way they can. Maybe some pain killers and a water bottle/heating pad? Maybe they get you some joint supports or compression clothes? Maybe you just need to lay down and maybe they lay down and cuddle with you? Whatever you might need or want f/o will try to get it for you! And it is never an inconvenience for them!
They don't need you to speak but if you do they will listen. Any frustrations or thoughts you need to vent out they will always listen. Even if it's just incoherent sobs or rambles because it hurts but thats okay. F/o will always listen. Because they want to understand and support you even when it feels like your own body have turned its back on you. Because they love you.
