Forget the pain of chronic illness, and the suffering of all the physical symptoms… it is the FRUSTRATION which is often the most challenging part to navigate through!
Frustration when no matter what we try to do we can’t get well again, or perhaps we have never been well our entire lives.
Frustration that our symptoms and suffering is often invisible to others and we are often wildly misunderstood by friends and family, and often invalidated.
Frustration from LOADS of money spent on trying different treatments both conventional or holistic only to have them not help at all, or even make matters worse.
Frustrated by the medical system we are trapped in which offers often little help, but yet we have no choice but to stay in.
Frustrated for the lives we wanted and dreamed of but lost due to unrelenting illness.
Frustration in everyday activities which are easy for most people, done without a second thought causes us to struggle through pain, weakness, or crushing fatigue.
Frustration… the often over-looked most painful symptom of chronic illness life.
