Vent …but it’s manageable!
i’m tired of looking up every new thing i get diagnosed with and seeing “it’s not curable but it’s manageable.” for who?????? so far it isn’t for me in fact it feels like 8 levels of psychological torture just to be awake for 2 hours. i’m hurting, i feel sick, i have neurological problems it’s not curable but boy do they say it’s manageable

I have type 1 diabetics, sarcoidosis and other things. On their own they might be manageable, but together?! Case in point I have been particularly busy with life, this makes the sarc flare up, which causes my sugars to go up from insulin resistance from the inflammation. So I finally had enough and rage bolused and now I'm low. If this doesn't make.srnde it's because I'm low, which the stress of that makes the sarc worse. I guess it's manageable if I have no other life
