Chronic illnesses are so clingy.
What do you mean you need to see me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?

When your labs come back normal after the 26th time but you still can’t function as a normal person 😭 #chronicillness

Not to be alarmist, but have you noticed that every single person who follows this page is always sick?!

What is a dynamic disability? A dynamic disability refers to a condition or impairment that varies and severity and impact over time. Unlike static disability, such as amputation or paralysis, which remains constant, the dynamic disability may have periods of remission or exasperation. This means that people may have "good days" and "bad days" in each day is different or unpredictable @abilityangels

Weirdly enough, your symptoms don't just disappear when your lab results come back normal

“I DON'T LOOK SICK” “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but my legs often feel like wet spaghetti and will go numb and give out on me without warning. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but I live with 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 feint 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 raw at an itch that doesn't actually exist. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but inside, my bones often 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 or 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 suffers drastically. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but the simplest tasks can take me 5 times longer and take 5 times as much energy to finish than a "normal" person. “I DON'T LOOK SICK, but you'll never know the struggle beneath the surface.”

having an invisible chronic illness is hard enough. Being doubted, judged, or dismissed is heartbreaking. Source: my_chronicpain_life on Insta

@chronicnotebook People with chronic illnesses will have stomach cramps, headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, fatigue, nausea,dizziness and more every single day... and still act completely normal in public. Remember you never know the pain someone may be in just by looking.

Living with chronic illness can make self-care a balancing act. Writers, how do you keep your creativity flowing while taking care of yourself? Share your favorite tips for managing both! 💬👀 #SelfCare #ChronicIllness #WritingCommunity

Brain fog is a mother
#brainfog #brainfogmemes #adhd
When you have brain fog and can't think of a word, say, "I forget the English word for it.” that way people will think you're bilingual instead of an idiot.

An illustration of a slightly beat-up looking white cat with huge, watery angry eyes. They have a couple of bandages on them, one placed over a pink heart marking on their chest, and are in a defensive pose. Around them it says “things are tough, but so are you.”
