You say your quality of life is bad, but great news, your tests came back normal, so I don't believe you. See you again in 12 weeks for a follow-up!

I struggle to let myself use the things that I have a notion are for ppl worse off than myself. Letting myself use a wheel chair really improved my experience at a museum. Instead of hobbling on crutches, I was able to enjoy myself :)

Went out with a guy a few days ago, opened up to him about my illness. Today, woke up to this. Apparently my chronic illness is now contagious. I am appalled at the lack of knowledge.

Does anyone else get so jealous of posts like this? I’ve had pain and fatigue since I was 14 and the idea of being able to do whatever you want in your 20’s without suffering for it and have the energy to do all that makes me so jealous.
