A community for chronically ill people.
Rules
- Be excellent to each other
- Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
- 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 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.
