A community for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
  3. 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.

I’m experiencing just a minor pain surge from stress right now, and it feels debilitating. It’s hard explaining why a headache or backache takes your out of commission. I live my life at 3/10, so a two point increase makes life REALLY hard.
