Ten phrases/questions that I, a chronic pain sufferer am tired of hearing. I offer advice on how to deal with these never ending comments as well as reasons why others should think before they speak.
All the unthinking / insensitive / patronising / insulting things that people say to those who are chronically ill, with great tips on how to respond. I used one in my opticians today. It worked (and they laughed). If you are chronically ill, send this to your friends. They may be surprised initially to get it; but if they are really your friends they will understand and learn some really important things. Things that they can use / avoid with you and with others in their lives, now and in the future.
