From people who came through it

  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: This time last year I was exactly where you are. The worst part: a diagnosis after seven years of being told it was stress. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Praying for you.โ€

    Jess from Melbourne ยท been through chronic illness
  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: I've been there. For me it was in 2023. Lupus flares that come with no warning, every single day. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back.โ€

    Sophia from Tacoma K ยท been through chronic illness
  • โ€œReading this late at night? I've been there. In 2023, that was me. The worst part was the specialist six hours away. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It changes. It really does. xโ€

    tidedrum69 ยท been through chronic illness
  • โ€œI think I was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. My nurse specialist has been more useful than the consultant, if you have one ask for their number. Keep going, even slowly.โ€
