Chronic illness isn’t just one moment.
It’s thousands of little ones that no one sees.
It’s canceled plans.
It’s missed milestones.
It’s memories you won’t make.
Its calls you don’t return.
It’s goals you let go of.
It the slow, quiet loss of the person you used to be.

“It’s a marathon. It is the only thing I can do that day… I get halfway done and the pain hits. I start sweating, get tunnel vision, want to pass out… then deal with payback #pain for the next few days.” Grocery Shopping When You Have A #ChronicIllness https://t.co/RLznLn3mEY
