One of my family members told me the other day that the acute symptoms she was experiencing from a cold were worse than my symptoms because I’m “used to mine.”
Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. A lot of people don’t realize that we never fully get used to the pain, fatigue, and other symptoms that our chronic illnesses cause. No matter how well we learn to cope, our symptoms still affect us on a physical and emotional level.
