A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.
Rules
- Be excellent to each other
- Absolutely no ableism.
- 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.
- No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

I'm literally never fully comfortable. Even with drugs, my special pillow and laying just right I can get down to a 3/10 pain wise. And that's without decadent luxuries like going to the bathroom, which rockets everything up to 6/10 for the next hour.
Right there with you, goin' on 20 years of this bullshit!
