When you’re chronically ill it’s very lonely. Sometimes days aren’t what you planned. Sometimes you just can’t get up. Sometimes you just can’t meet your friend, or go for dinner. Sometimes it’s the pain. Sometimes it’s overwhelming fatigue. The “sometimes” are hard to explain, and since you can’t see the “sometimes”, it’s hard to get anyone to understand. Ilana Jacqueline shares her own journey coping with a chronic illness in her book “Surviving and Thriving with an Invisible Chronic Illness” and helps others find their way in their most vulnerable moments.
