Living With Chronic Illness

Those who are living with chronic illness may deal with a variety of issues as a result. It can take a toll on one’s professional life, finances, personal relationships and affect day-to-day activities, just to name a few aspects that may be negatively impacted. The type and severity of issues one may face can vary significantly from one individual to the next as well. The type of illness, severity and whether or not one has a support system in place are all things that can play a role. According to statistics, those who are somewhat able to manage the symptoms of their ailments and have a solid support network in place may have better outcomes though. Having a chronic medical condition can be frustrating, painful and detract from quality-of-life, but this does not mean that one has to go it alone.
