Chronic Illness

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

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism.
  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.
  4. 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.

Well, at least she's got a doctor who actually knows the disease.

Or does she...

I've been treated with chemotherapy based on a guess. That wasn't fun as you may imagine

Was the doctor's favorite disease cancer? 🫠

He just liked the therapy. it works for many weird cases and side effects are so strong the patient must feel that doctor is putting an effort

I felt it too but in hindsight I realise he was simply reckless
