Okay didn’t know that. My own friends use steroids to treat theirs maybe their’s are chronic too I never heard to them referred to it as chronic so that’s fair enough
I also have a chronic stage 4 illness - endometriosis which took 15 yrs to diagnose. 1 in 7 people have endometriosis. So I understand lots of people have invisible illnesses I’m not bashing that. I was speaking about my own friends who have ARTHRITIS who use steroids to treat it as it can be quite bad and during our discussions they never used the word chronic so I wondered if it applied to this disease also and she continuously goes on about it and physically can walk okay. My friend can’t walk on her bad days but told me before it hadn’t reached chronic stage. That is all
I don’t really think you need to defend yourself to this extent. I didn’t find your original comment that insulting or offensive and I’ve been living with this condition, amongst others, and fighting for a diagnosis (which I eventually got) for years.
This is a discussion forum where we are all entitled to our opinions and have the opportunity to discuss them. I don’t think it’s fair to just throw the phrase “educate yourself” around and I believe it creates animosity whereas discussion and questions are much more healthy. Just my humble opinion.
I followed Emily briefly a long time ago but had to unfollow her as, like you, her page and “content” confused me. I’m sure she’s a nice enough person just trying to get by but how she has sustained a significant following after the initial interest surge, baffles me. Her makeup looks are awful, her fashion is terrible and I genuinely can’t understand what people find interesting about her.
I initially found Cian’s comedy sketches funny and think he really could have gone places with the right guidance and training. Unfortunately he seemed happier falling into the “influencer”
category and sold out a bit. That’s where I think it all went wrong and I believe he’s missed his window of opportunity now. It’s a real shame.
