Took a day off today. I had a fever last night and had insomnia really bad. I didn't get any sleep, even with medication. I have been dizzy for a few days now, but that's a side effect to one of my medications. Chronic illness is super fun (said no one ever!). #chronicillness

One of the things that really bothers me is that the ads can almost make light of the conditions being treated.

They show happy people getting on in the world. Even with treatment I’m still not fully functional. Ads show you a very censored version of #ChronicIllness.

“It’s so easy to feel alone…I know I am not…there are millions…fighting the same fight. Fighting to be heard, fighting to be understood, fighting to be believed… Lately, I have felt drawn to lighthouses… Beacons of light in the darkness.” https://cme.sh/7EFjk5/ #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #Spoonies
