Ways Chronic Illness Affects Daily Life

  1. Plans can change almost instantly with no warning.
  2. I break things almost everyday because I drop things all the time.
  3. Changes in temperature can cause severe pain.
  4. Daily tasks can be the hardest. Just pushing a door open can be tedious.
  5. You have a very simple wardrobe.
  6. You have to set several alarms for meds.

You never know someone’s whole story.
