“People with #ChronicPain don’t merely “hurt.” We live curtailed lives. Simple pleasures like walking in the park…or enjoying a meal become distant memories or unattainable dreams… It’s not just a “bad day”…it’s a relentless 24/7…that doesn’t let up.” themighty.com/topic/chroni... #cpp

“I had no idea it was THIS bad!” We’ve all heard this from a friend or family member who becomes chronically ill. Despite watching us suffer for years, they never understand until it happens to them. Please listen to disabled people. It IS that bad. Protect your health. There’s no do overs.
