I find that it's so unnecessarily hard to explain that chronic illnesses and pain are... chronic. People seem to not understand the chronic part. Whilst I understand that some people recover, a lot of us never will and people seem unable to grasp that...

America is the only country with medical debt and medical bankruptcy.

No other country destroys your life savings via medical procedures.

No other country.

Fatigue feels like you have sandbags tied to your feet while trying to walk. It feels like you haven’t slept in weeks. It feels like gravity is pulling you down. It feels like cotton balls are in your head, clouding everything.

Fatigue is NOT the equivalent to being tired.

Hey, if you’re not as mentally quick as you used to be because of your illness- that’s okay. If you’re can’t think as fast or handle as many tasks that’s okay. You aren’t stupid, you aren’t unintelligent, and you aren’t less worthy of love or respect. It’s okay that your brain won’t or can’t go back to how it used to be. It’s different now, but it’s okay.
