BE KIND

No one talks about the hours needed to talk to the doctors, get specialty meds filled, or the frustration caused by managing my medical. 6 different doctors in different specialities, all prescribing meds and not one doctor talking to each other! They expect us to be able to decipher there medical jargon, then repeat that same information to another doctor two months later, and all of this with brain fog, chronic fatigue and chronic pain! 🫠

I say all of this as not to complain but more informational. I had to learn this myself because society has taught us that when we express ourselves in a negative way it should be interpreted as complaining. But in "our" (Chronic Illness Badasses) case, we are just too exhausted to put on a smile and raise our voice an octave to make others feel better about themselves. 🙃 Please be KIND and patient with us because we try our best to get through our day and sometimes we CAN but other times we struggle to get out of bed 😔

And for us Chronic Illness Badasses, we need to be patient and KIND with those trying to help us. Something I've learned over these last 4 years is that not one person can truly understand what we are going through except for us Chronic Illness Badasses! 💕 We each have our own journey and our own extremes. When the days are hard try to remember our support system loves us!
