 This is one of the most terrifying things that you probably wouldn't think about, about living with a chronic illness. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with something called fibromyalgia, which can evidence itself in a lot of different symptoms and discomfort and pain. Trying to film a video, it's very serious. And what is so confusing to me is I never know if it's just another Tuesday of living in my body, or if I am in need of urgent medical attention and should go to the ER. For instance, a few years ago, I had a very bad kidney infection that was almost septic. By the time I got to the ER, the doctors were very freaked out, they were very angry, why did I wait so long to come in? And my only answer was, I thought it was just like Friday. It is so hard to know when you are actually not okay and something has shifted and is different versus a bad flare-up, or maybe a symptom evidencing itself more than it previously did before. If every time you're really concerned, you go to the ER or the doctor, you very much get looked at like the boy crying wolf. But then when you just accept that and wait, then you are reprimanded for waiting too long and almost dying. Living in bodies with chronic issues that are weird is really confusing.
