Chronic Pain & Illness - W/E 16th Oct Check In Thread
Hey guys!
I thought I'd introduce a weekly check in thread for us all to make more use of this lovely space and keep it active, but more importantly, support each other and have somewhere to share our frustrations each week! When you have a chronic illness, you have good and bad days/weeks, so here's your place to share the good, the bad and the ugly regarding living with your illness.
I hope to post a new one each week on a Sunday (you can tell me off if I forget or hopefully one of the other forum mentors/supporters will follow suit), to talk about how your week has been.
So start sharing below!
How has your week been?

Not well. I have a virus and while it's a pretty minor one it's still enough to set off my HAE. I thought I was doing better on Friday after treating an attack but today I've been in my bedroom almost all day. I made it downstairs for breakfast that my husband kindly made for me and I ventured out of room to grab a few things before soaking in a bath for a while. I have easily surpassed sleeping 12 hours from when I went to sleep last night.
Any virus that gives me throat symptoms is tough to know what to do. I wasn't sure if I was having a throat attack or not until I treated it and there was a change in symptoms. There is absolutely no information for people like me to know what's normal for the virus and what are mild-moderate throat attack symptoms. A throat attack can become life-threatening in a short amount of time and there's no predictability to how it is going to progress.
