A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.
Rules
- Be excellent to each other
- Absolutely no ableism.
- No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
- No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

Yeah it happens. I've got an auto immune disease. When I get any sort of bug, I'm sleeping 20 hours a day. Many people, my own wife included, comment on how must be nice to sleep that much.
I'm literally sleeping that much because I don't have the strength to do anything else
