Hi everyone,

How are you doing today?

We take medication to relieve some of the worst disease symptoms. But that doesn't mean that the side effects are make life that much more pleasant.

What are some of the worst treatment side effects your have experienced? What was it caused by? Did you find a solution?

Let this be a safe place where you can vent about your medication and awful side effects- let it out!

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team

Thank you to those who have already shared your experiences — it’s so helpful to hear real-life stories about how medications affect daily life.

For those who haven’t had a chance yet, we’d love to hear from you too: Have you noticed any surprising side effects from your treatments? How did you cope or manage them? And for those who already shared, has anything changed since your last post, or have you discovered new ways to make things easier?

Sharing these experiences can really help others feel understood and supported. Let’s keep the conversation going! 💬

Have a great day,
Somya from the Carenity Team
