Not me of course, but even in the chronic illness community I have seen paople say "at least you can get out of bed" or "your lucky you dont need a cane", and as being a trainer I often get to my face that I mus be crazy because exercise just makes it worse. (which I always acknowledge may be true for some but not others). I have seen wonderful things come out of the groups and pages like support groups and communication through blogs, but there are still some who think because others dont have it as bad as "they" do, they musty not really be sick or they dont really know what it feels like and that makes a little sad for those people. They are losing an opportunity to become enriched, connected and accepted.

I thought chronic illness would make us all more tolerant but we can live in hope that it may happen.Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327466039696984294noreply@blogger.com
