A community for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.

Well, they are wishing that to/for you, which is technically nice; but otoh I am also very aware that many people are just dropping it to get out asap. So hm.

Well when you have a lifelong illness, it gets tiring real fast.

Imagine telling someone with an amputated arm “get better soon”. Same situation with telling someone with an incurable lifelong disease.

I understand, my wife has a chronic illness and she gets this stuff often enough too.
