What Is Your Experience With Chronic Illness?

Tweet

I have a lot of experience with chronic illness. I have a rare chronic autoimmune disease called dermatomyositis. It is the inflammation of skin and muscle. It affects my muscle strength, speed, and flexibility and my skin sensitivity and appearance. I also have allergies and asthma. I also know many people who have chronic illness. My dad has diabetes type 2 and vertigo. My son has diabetes type 1, autism, asthma and allergies. My girlfriend has lupus, fibromyalgia, and srojens which are also autoimmune diseases. I have known people who have mental illness too like my exhusband and son's dad. I also know people who have post traumatic stress disorder, are paranoid, and anxious. I had a close friend who suffered from epilepsy and died earlier this year. What is your experience with chronic illness?
