When you’re chronically ill, those good days feel wonderful in the moment. Maybe you feel well enough to go out, get some things done around the house you’ve been putting off, or hang out with friends. And for a moment, it feels like things are getting back to normal-that finally, you’re becoming you again. And in that moment, you start making plans. You don’t mean to-but you do. Then you wake up the next day. You realize the dream of a normal life is a lie.
