Living with a chronic condition often means facing a variety of symptoms — some visible, others not. But among them, there’s usually one that feels the hardest to manage day after day.

💭 Is it the pain, the fatigue, the anxiety, or perhaps something less obvious like brain fog or sleep problems?
💭How do you cope with it and try to make your days a little easier?
💭And has anything — treatment, routine, mindset — really helped you along the way?

Your experiences might help others feel less alone and discover new ways to manage their symptoms 💚

Take care,
Somya from the Carenity Team 🌸

I find that the constant battle with muscle weakness and pain plus the joint pain and limited joint movement impact my mental health. I don’t sleep well and get so tired at times that I just want to give in so I take time out by visiting a family member and just chatting, drinking tea and having a laugh out of my own environment. Sometimes I feel that my home is a toxic environment and take solace in the garden. Brain fog is such a nuisance as I am always losing things, forgetting what I went into a room for etc very irritating as my family keep thinking I have dementia but checks at the Drs rules that out which my family think is wrong as it is constant and has been for a long time

Tiredness and lack of sleep are my main issues. I've been on many medications for epilepsy and now weaning off levetiracetam. My neurologist has given me clonazepam which has definitely helped me sleep better.

Irritability and emotional upsets have come as side effects from levetiracetam but I now feel better and hope the seizures will settle down once off the meds.

@Ploutamaick8936 I'm definitely like that my knees get very painful I get pains in my back, it's worse when I start coughing the pain is hard to cope with, I do take medication for it but it is still painful, when I go out I don't go out on my own my husband is always with me, but it's a good job because I can be walking with my rollator and my knees will just go and if he is not there then I would panic and things would get worse, now my husband thinks because I'm in pain more I should use my scooter more, so I will be using that a little more but I will still try to use my rollator,
