My mom is like suprised when I go inside flares and is like “I thought this went away? Your meds aren’t working”. Like ma’am the meds are to manage symptoms not a cure.

righttttt. it’s chronic not temporary, medications are just for the management of symptoms, it’s not a cure. I was just issued a school medical parking pass and it said in big bold letters “temporary” and it had an expiration date, like hot take, my chronic illness isn’t going away once the pass expires”

my fav is the “there’s no cure or medication for that to just be *completely* fixed and not chronically affect your life?” 😐😂
