When you realize... The waiting room time is longer than the actual appointment, the insurance company has more control over your treatment than your doctor does, The only time you feel normal is when you're around other sick people, your medication side effects are competing with your actual symptoms, You need a nap after taking a shower, You're "good day" still includes pain and fatigue, finding a doctor who actually listens is harder than winning lottery. @dear_chronic_pain

Tweet by kismetics People Get Tired Of You Being Sick When you first become ill, they will show you sympathy. They'll send you cards and hope you "get well soon." They'll call or text to check in and see how you're doing. They'll cut you slack. They'll be understanding when you have trouble keeping up. But once your illness becomes a chronic condition, they wonder why you can't get better. They show impatience and frustration. They stop trying to include you in plans. They ask why you aren't "trying harder." They don't get it. They just want you to be abled again so that you're not inconveniencing them. People get tired of you being sick, but they don't stop to think that you're probably fucking tired of being sick, too. They don't take the time to think about how you'd love to "just get over it." They don't care enough to realize you didn't choose this.

A tweet from @raimeygallant Some people need to hear this. Many chronic diseases and conditions aren't less painful or less debilitating in fatal ones. So don't ever say to a chronically old person, "at least you don't have cancer" because you have no idea what it suffering and perpetuality is like

Tweet by autoimmunestrg As a person living with chronic illness, I am so accustomed to being doubted, to being called a hypochondriac, that I have learned to distrust my own symptoms and to doubt myself too. I am now working to unlearn that doubt and trust myself first and foremost

You can't tell the doctor everything because if you do, they won't believe you. Too many symptoms? Your drug seeking. Not enough? You're fine. Chronic pain? Neurodivergence? Mental struggles? "You don't look sick" "are you sure it's not just anxiety?" Gaslighting, dismissed, ignored.

A garbage can with text that says oh so you've never met someone with my same illness, never heard of it, can't even spell it but still want to tell me how I should live my life? Please write down your opinion and put it in the special container

What patients wish doctors knew 5 minutes of their day can affect our life for months or years. Sometimes symptoms are hard to describe. But that doesn't mean they aren't real. A little empathy goes along way. They're only seeing a small picture of our daily reality. We are not choosing this,and we would do anything to get better. We hope they'll treat us like they'd treat a family member they love.
At this point in my journey I don't even want to be completely symptom free. I don't want everything to miraculously disappear. I just want my illness and symptoms to be manageable. I think that speaks volumes. I hate being ill, but I understand that it is my life now. I just want it to be more manageable. I think this is something a lot of people don't understand. They think we want some miraculous cure. We don't always want that. We just want to be well enough to live a good standard of life.

I don't look sick. I don't look sick, but my legs often feel like spaghetti and we'll go numb and give out on me without warning. I don't look sick, but I suffer from an intense deep exhaustion that makes every movement feel like I'm trying to move at the bottom of the ocean. I don't look sick, but I suffer from an extremely sensitive heat intolerance that makes me feel light headed, Ill and faint even in what feels like a normal room temperature to you. I don't look sick, but my nerves often give me phantom itches that make me scratch myself for all at an itch that doesn't actually exist. I don't look sick but inside my bones feel like someone is using a jackhammer on them especially during a change in weather. I don't look sick, but if anything even something little stresses are worries me, my body rebels and symptoms flare up just for the fun of it. I don't look sick but it's extremely difficult for me to concentrate on anything and as a result my memory the first drastically. I don't look sick but the simplest task and take me five times longer and five times as much energy to finish as a "normal" person. I don't look sick, but you'll never know the struggle beneath the surface.
