Hi friends! For this blog post, I thought I'd channel my #chronicillnessdiaries and talk about things that are just chef's kiss when you have a chronic illness. Let me know if you relate!!

Things That Are Just Chef's Kiss When You Have a Chronic Illness
When you eat a trigger food, and your stomach doesn't get upset later on (for me, apricots or too much dairy).
A whole week with no appointments and no reminder text messages.
When your energy levels match your plans, and you don't end up in a flare the next day.
A morning where you wake up feeling refreshed.
A nap that actually feels like rest.
A decent wheat bag/heat source.
Fluffy slippers. Soft clothing.
Taking compression socks off after a long day wearing them.
When someone says "I hope you're having a low symptom day today" rather than "get well soon".
Bubble baths - oh, how I miss having a bath!!
A medical professional who actually listens.
Pain-free days.
When your dog wants to lie with you when you're not feeling great.
Exercising and NOT experiencing PEMs (Post-Exertional Malaise).
Walking more than 5000 steps a day.
Swimming in the ocean.
When you meet someone with a similar struggle, and you instantly connect.
When someone does a chore/task you've been putting off for you without asking.
Thank you for reading!
