Honestly, I don't even play an active role with my body's health anymore, stuff just happens to me and I'm like oh so we're doing this now, ok.

Ugh, dealing with gallbladder issues is the worst! 😩 And can we talk about how doctors can be so misleading? Like, they act like it’s no biggie and that you’ll feel fine

Thank goodness for hair-thickening shampoo, anti-breakage products, and hair vitamins. I've managed to get one chronic medical condition under control. #Blessed #GodIsGood #GoodKarma #ChronicIllness #HairCare #Tresemmé #TheMainChoice

“Often with #chronicillness we’re forced to do nothing as our health limits us—esp. in a flare. What if we gave ourselves permission to do nothing? Sometimes #selfcare with illness is letting go of the guilt we feel when we’re unable to do things.” https://whatapain.co.uk/self-care-chronic-illness/

I've always been a health enthusiast, but I think it's gotten even more intense since I became chronically ill. I'm super OCD about my medical diets and everything else. #HealthNut #ChronicIllness #OCD #MedicalDiets

Ladies, let me tell you, if you have IBS-IBSC, caffeine coffee is a no-go! ☕🚫 It could totally make things worse, including the pain. And those bubbly probiotic drinks? Not a good idea either! #IBS #HealthTips #CaffeineFree

That's me juggling a bunch of medical diets at the same time. I'm still managing to keep it together, somewhat. #HealthJourney #DietLife #MedicalDiets #SickLife #LowFat #GlutenFree #LactoseFree

Thank goodness for innovations and all the brilliant ideas people create. I can't wait for my stool to arrive in the mail. I'm so thankful that someone has developed a solution to help those of us with chronic illnesses. Science is amazing. I like their unicorn mascot 🦄🚽

On those tough flare days, I still vibe with my idol Eminem's music. Living with a chronic illness is a constant battle. His tracks are totally uplifting and relatable.

We are the OG of 'just take it one day at a time'.

Chronic illness life is a constant cycle of "I just need to get through this day", every day.
