I imagine that you might possibly have little to no experience with serious chronic physical conditions. It is much the same as having a mental illness: you feel you are limited by your condition, you get constant criticism, you continually look for treatments that will work long term, you deal with crap resulting from the condition pretty much every day.
Constant maintenance, frustration, understanding of limitations, eschewing others' impression of what your limits SHOULD be [as opposed to what they are]...
It's very similar.
I would encourage you to talk to any individual who has personal experience with any one of the following:
diabetes, cancer, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, moderate to severe asthma, epilepsy, immune system disorders/severe allergies

You make an excellent point Josiegirl! Thank you!
