@thepainnpchenlow: Stop Explaining Your Chronic Illness #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness #ChronicFatigue #InvisibleIllness #ThePainNP

Ramona•Still’s Disease Warrior :

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your content. ❤️As someone who lives with chronic illness, it means so much to see an NP who not only shares such helpful advice, but also genuinely seems to understand what patients are going through. You explain things in a way that makes people feel heard and understood, and that’s not something you find everywhere. I always stop when I see one of your videos because I know I’m going to learn something or feel a little less alone. Thank you for using your platform the way you do! 🫶

This is true, they don’t get it. Then they stop calling.

Danielle 💜💚💙 :

this is great advice! it's always a struggle to mask at work. working at a grocery store opens the door for a lot of ppl to speculate and say stuff like "oh I fixed all that by taking iron supplements. you'll be fine." 🙄🙄🙄

Carin Gaming :

I think we try to explain because they look at you dead in the eye and say “but you look fine”. Just infuriates to end, you wanna slap em 😂😂

Thank you 😊 and I have good news I got a new dr I’m so happy 🎉 the last dr was gaslighting me

eleanthe :

Excellent advice. I often drive separate from my husband and kids so I can leave if needed.

The Twisted Pixie :

I have a supervisor who just doesn’t understand chronic illness/pain. He thinks because he can work through pain, that everyone can. He has chronic pain, but not illness. Do you have any advice?

BreezyBarnacle :

Next time a non-pain physician or dentist starts to judge my meds: “I have a medical team managing my care. Thanks.” 😊

When they want to debate I counter with, I don't owe you anything for your expert medical advice do I? The conversation ends there.

SurfsUp_1004 :

Thank you for the helpful information that you share. But more than being informed, I love to listen to you speak in such a calm reassuring voice. It immediately brings my anxiety level down. ❤️
