chronic pain and final exams at the same time isn't fun

would love to make friends with some other chronically ill people!

some stuff about me:

i'm 19 and diagnosed with dysautonomia. i also got some chronic back pain and other stuff i'm trying to get checked out

feel free to message me if you aren't some creep :)

why is chronic illness so difficult to understand for healthy people?

like "yes, i am ill everyday"

"no, i will not be getting better soon"

me: "i'm so fatigued and my brain fog is pretty bad"

healthy person: "stop complaining, i'm tired too"

your "tired" is not the same as my fatigued! sleep won't cure me, this is not how it works!

my back pain is so bad today idk how i'm supposed to do things or even sleep!

i'm already doing physio therapy so idk what else to do about it at this point

really tired but making sure to stay awake until the point of exhaustion so i hopefully actually fall asleep

recovering from a simple cold really takes incredibly long when you have a chronic illness...

like please i wanna be able to do at least some things again

i'd love some audiobook recommendations, thank you!

i'm mostly trying to not spend the whole day even if it means just sitting on the couch instead when i'm not feeling well. otherwise i always felt like i wouldn't get tired in bed at all.

any tips for what helps with insomnia?

"Why do I feel sick" my brother in christ you have a chronic illness

having insomnia when having a chronic illness sucks!

my chronic illness flares up cause i don't get enough sleep, but i don't get enough sleep cause of my chronic illness

"omg do you have a hangover?"

nope, just a chronic illness

had to cancel so many plans with my friends recently...

do they seem mad? -nope

did they say that they are mad? -nope

do i still think that they are mad? -absolutely

please if you're sick stay at home if possible or at least wear a mask!

... even if it's just a cold some people don't have the best immune system and i am tired of being sick on top of my chronic illness every other week

barely having symptoms for a few days made me think i was cured... turns out that isn't the case

how are you supposed to tell people who you recently became friends with that you sometimes need to use a mobility aid?

is there even a way to make it not awkward? because it shouldn't be awkward

Whoever decided to force chronically ill/physically disabled kids to do p.e should be hunted for sport

me with the trip i wanted to go on

Chronic illness/disability culture is: overdoing it getting ready for an event to the point you can’t even enjoy the event (or possibly might not even make it at all.)

there are things i need to do, but i can't cause i'm sick

pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering,

had a low fever for almost a week now, but am refusing to see a doctor cause "not like they would do much"

and that's on doctors constantly dismissing people with chronic illness

feeling a flare up coming, but trying to push it down cause there is stuff to do... knowing very well it will do nothing... if anything it'll make it worse

having to wait a long time for a doctors appointment sucks, because until i got proof i am not getting any accomodations from my school and it's affecting my health even more

not being able to sleep due to pain sucks, because sleep is the one time i am not in pain

wishing my chronic illness would take the day off on busy days

i need to lay in bed for a week to make up for one day i overdid it

shout out to everyone who doesn't have a chronic illness!

How does it it feel to not be terrified of having to stand for longer than a couple minutes?

i think younger me would be disappointed, but current me is just grateful for the opportunities i have

i feel like i only really developed something similar to health anxiety after a chronic illness...

because what if this is just a new thing now?

normal people sick in addition to chronic illness really sucks...

everyone that has a chronic illness already shouldn't get sick in addition to that
