Being chronically ill involves a lot more than "just" the symptoms. ⁣ ⁣ It means hours spent at doctor's offices. ⁣ ⁣ It means hoping that a doctor believes you. ⁣ ⁣ It means anxiety over your future. ⁣ ⁣ It means changing your life and trying medications. ⁣ ⁣ it means juggling side effects of those medications (and determining if the medication is worth it due to those side effects). ⁣ ⁣ it means losing friends. ⁣ ⁣ It means accepting uncertainty. ⁣ ⁣ What does it mean for you?⁣ ⁣ ⬛⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ I’m Kate, a chronic illness patient and advocate sharing what my life is like with 10+ chronic illnesses.
