"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!"

"I can't express this enough, you have NO IDEA what other people carry with them everyday. You have NO IDEA what someone's life is like. Don't create more pain & stress to others. Be kind. BE genuine. Stop being so mean to people to fulfill whatever it is you don't like about you." Credit: Millions Missing Voice Global #MySeveralWorlds #MyChronicLife #pwME #ChronicTruths

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. We hope they'll treat us like they'd treat a family member they love." Credit: Chronic Love Club

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
