"Never underestimate the grief that comes when a chronic illness and/or disability is diagnosed. Especially when more often than not, the person is given a diagnosis and left to process this and move forward with little guidance or empathy. So much ambiguous loss, yet so little understanding and empathy. So if you know someone with chronic illness and/or disability, remember this. We need your compassion and understanding (or at the very least, willingness to try and understand)." Credit: A Cup Full of Spoons #MyChronicLife #ChronicTruths #MySeveralWorlds

"Listen to some music
Get well soon!
Do you really want to take all those meds?
You don't look sick
Try some B12
Have you tried yoga?
Your bloodwork is normal
I'd love to sleep all day!
You were ok yesterday
It could be worse!"

They're only seeing a small picture into our daily reality.

We hope they'll treat us like they'd treat a family member they love."

WHAT PATIENTS WISH DOCTORS KNEW "5 minutes of their day can affect our life for months or years. They're only seeing a small picture into our daily reality. Sometimes symptoms are hard to describe, but that doesn't mean they aren't real. O We are not choosing this, and we would do anything to get better. A little empathy goes a long way.

Pills that are hard to swallow:

🥺Losing friendships / relationships
🙂‍↕️Giving up your career
😔There is no cure for your illness
🥲Accepting you a chronically ill
😭Yearning to do things your body no longer allows
