My only plans lately involve going to medical appointments or to the market or pharmacy...

My issues do make it more difficult to go out on a daily basis. I do the work i need to do in order to go places. 1) i have to carefully work out when and what i eat (diabetic) and plan for lots of water or juices. 2) Since i am also incontinent, i have to plan for how long i am going to be gone and what i pack in my diaper bag, if i have to change while going out. I also have to plan for what i am going to wear, based on making it easier for me to change. But after a couple of years, you get you process down, and it can get easier .

Living with a chronic illness often means dealing with unpredictability โ flare-ups, fatigue, pain, and other symptoms can appear without warning. For many, this makes it difficult to commit to plans ahead of time, whether it's a social gathering, a holiday, or even a simple day out.
โจ How do you navigate this challenge in your day-to-day life?
โจDo you avoid making plans in advance, or do you find ways to adapt when the time comes?
โจHow do your friends or family react when you have to cancel or change plans?
โจHave you found any strategies that help you feel more in control of your schedule?
๐ฌ Your experiences could really help others in the community feel less alone โ donโt hesitate to share!
Warmly,
Somya.P โ The Carenity Team ๐
