The 'Chronic Illness' Support Thread.
A 'chronic illness' is a term used to describe a long-term physical illness, with symptoms lasting over three months. Being 'chronically ill' can be a huge strain on a person's mental health, often exacerbating mental health issues with the additional problems they face. I know there's a number of members on RYL living with a chronic illness, and I thought a general thread (There is a specific CFS thread) could be useful to gain and give support surrounding being physically ill.
Common CIs include: M.E/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Arthritis, IBS, IBD, Crohn's Disease, Fibromyalgia, Asthma and other pain & auto-immune disorders.
Here is a safe place for you all.
Much love.
