Sasha Clements Instagram – 2022 was tough but I’m proud of my progress! This is what a year of an RA flare up looks like. Muscle atrophy, weight loss, hair loss, adverse medical reactions, eyes swollen shut, level 10 pain, and lots of judgmental looks from others. I used to think this was my weakest point in life but looking back it was most definitely when I showed the most strength💪🏼 So much gratitude to @chadlanders for guiding me as I eased back into working out and modifying exercises to my needs. Each time I left the gym I felt stronger and more confident, so thank you for helping me lay a new foundation 🫶🏼 And to everyone who checked on me and sent me loving messages. Can’t tell you how impactful they were when I was in some really low places. I’m now heavier than when I started and feel like a different person. So happy my body has the weight and muscle it needs to fight for me! 2023 goal is to build more upper body strength and to continue to treat my body with the respect it deserves ❤️ If you also have an autoimmune condition or deal with chronic pain I hope this helps show you that there is light at the end of the tunnel ❤️ #bodytransformstion #autoimmunedisease #rheumatoidarthritis #chronicpain #lupus #lyme #ebv #spoonie #flareup #beforeandafter #beforeandsfterweightgain #weightgain #healing #naturalmedicine #rawarrior #chronichives #urticaria #2023goals
