My friends do that a lot + undermining and dismissing it because I don’t seem as inhibited or fatigued as my pain “should” make me. I feel like it is mostly because I am able to mask it or work with my symptoms while my other chronically ill friends don’t normally do that. Otherwise it may be because their bodies show symptoms of their pain but mine doesn’t until I can just no longer move from it. I don’t know why it is like that and I hate the way it’s a common experience. I’m sorry friend!😕
