How do you tell people about your chronic illness?

I usually say something like “so for people w/o chronic pain, a good pain day is a 0 or a 1. For me with chronic illness, a good day on the pain scale is a 5 or a 6.”

[Nia | The Chronic Notebook @chronicnotebook]

I will never forget the time I tried to explain chronic illness to a friend by asking her "ok so where are you in pain right now?" Because she looked at me, so confused and said "what do you mean...nowhere" And it hit me that I'd forgotten you're not supposed to feel pain at all.

“This is why we watch the Super Bowl, Oakley”

If by “wokeness” you mean basic human decency, but go off sis.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 @mtgreenee]

Chris Stapleton just sang the most beautiful national anthem at the Super Bowl.

But we could have gone without the rest of the wokeness.

@JohnSchuerman You’re too kind!!

It’s happening!!! (Location redacted lol)

[Nia | The Chronic Notebook @chronicnotebook]

With chronic illness, you normalise so many things most people won't ever feel. You normalise high levels of pain, being exhausted, medical procedures and trauma, needing to rest after a shower. People see you surviving with an illness, but not all you had to normalise to do so.

Anybody have items they put on their registry that were so worth it? Or items they wish they’d included?

Happily Queer. ✌️

@RevSarahLocke Baths, anti-inflammatory meds, and I have a collection of braces depending on what hurts the most. I also find something that sounds remotely appetizing (usually chips/candy/juice) to make sure I’m at least consuming something.
