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.

Luckily we haven’t been blessed with Covid (probably because she is home bound and we do not socialize). Her illness started with a virus like ten years ago. I’m her full time caregiver because the illness is so bad. Sucks.
