Please If You're Sick Stay At Home If Possible Or At Least Wear A Mask!

everytime i am out of a flare i convince myself i am usually dramatic and this won't impact my life in any significant way in the future... then the next flare is coming up and changes my mind real quick

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!

how to ask your doctor for stronger pain meds without basically being called a drug addict

me: oh! i think i feel ok today!

me: [sits up]

me: oh. never mind

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

doctors will give me a test and go “well obviously we hope it’s not that” and I’m sitting there like bitch I have been through so many tests so many doctors so many specialist I have been in the ER more times than I can count I almost do hope it is that because then at least I know what’s fucking wrong with me instead of walking into the ER with my issues and being told it’s anxiety even though I know it’s not

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

Chronic illness be like: now our right knee is hurting

Me: ok. Is this a new accessory or should I get it checked out?

Chronic ilness: I don't know sis, sounds like a you problem tbh...

"just listen to your body"

hate to break it to you, but if i would do that i wouldn't even get out of bed

asking for accomodations shouldn't be this emberassing and shouldn't be a big deal and i shouldn't feel this guilty for needing them
