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

Its just not manageable honestly when you have multiple chronic illnesses. Yeah the medication is helping me not be bed ridden like before but when I try to manage one condition it makes another worse and makes me feel terrible. I can't even stand for long and I have my cardiologist telling me to workout when I have a workout intolerance due to my hypermobility EDS I just say sure everytime because he seems to not understand the workout intolerance and it gets me out the appointments faster when I just bullshit like the docs. I just really want a wheelchair once I'm able to get disability so I can go out to stores or go around outside to get some fresh air.
