Did you know falling asleep at work or during class may mean you have Narcolepsy? Often times, we believe constant exhaustion to be a symptom of being chronically ill. However, it could also be a sign that you have narcolepsy (also an autoimmune disease).

ID: meme of the kid sitting in class that looks like he’s pooping his pants because his veins are popping out of his neck and forehead captioned “ when you’re narcoleptic and haven’t napped in over 45 minutes”

TW: mental health, grief

For some, (cough cough me) getting a diagnosis can feel like the best day of your life. Finally someone is validating all the pain, symptoms and questioning you’ve been experiencing for some time.

But then reality hits. Sometimes slowly and sometimes like a big crashing wave. Grief sets in and treatment turns out to be a little less fun than the actual diagnosis. Chronic illness can separate you from the person you once were. I think it’s important to talk about this transition: the struggle mentally and physically with grieving what your body used to be.

All while the rest of the world feels you should move on because you have answers. The battle is just beginning. But you’ve got this! You are not alone. There’s a community of support waiting for you. All you have to do is find people that “get it”.

and have created a space for you to connect with other people in the community and simply chat about your favorite things: movies, gardening, video games, crafts and so much more. Check out the link in the bio to learn more!

IT IS OFFICIALLY HOT! Just because I have lupus and can’t always tolerate heat and sun doesn’t mean I don’t want to enjoy summer. Here are some tips that have helped me over the years! Let me know what works for you.

Love,

Raise your hand if your summer plans have been personally victimized by chronic illness 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ My goal was to be in lupus remission by June. Welp it’s June and I am very far from remission. If your summer has not gone according to plan I hope this meme makes you giggle.

Stay tuned for some “sick” (haha get it) memes about to be dropping soon.

Anytime I start to feel like I’m catching up and getting my life together it seems like chronic illness is planning a sneak attack. Anyone else feel this?

Let’s talk validation! It can be easy to feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, and lost when navigating chronic illness and disability.

On average us patients get 15 minutes of FaceTime with doctors each appointment. We realized we needed to make each minute count. Which is why we created (DRUM ROLL PLEASE) CoVstat. The first symptom tracking app for chronic illness created by patients for patients.

Sadly, we may not be able to change the healthcare system anytime soon, but we can take one step at a time to put our health back in our control. Check out the link in our bio to try for yourself. Let us know what you think!
