In one of my many attempts to try to help others in my life understand what it is like to be me living with chronic pain and chronic illness… I came up with this analogy… and this truly feels like the best explanation I have come up with thus far of what it is like to live with chronic pain… and this very similarly relates to chronic illness as well… it doesn’t matter how well I eat, how perfectly I reduce stress, exercise well, take supplements, see my doctors, take prescribed therapies etc. etc. etc… my disease is caused by a genetic dysfunction which is at this time not cure-able, I will always be sick no matter what I do.
What are some of the ways you try to explain to your loved ones your chronic pain or chronic illness?
