A community for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
  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.

I'm literally never fully comfortable. Even with drugs, my special pillow and laying just right I can get down to a 3/10 pain wise. And that's without decadent luxuries like going to the bathroom, which rockets everything up to 6/10 for the next hour.
