Some chronic illness treatments are medically necessary, but they can also be tough to live with. Maybe they limit your social life, your energy, or even the little pleasures that make life feel good. So how do we balance it all?
💭 Let's talk about it:
Have you ever chosen not to follow a strict treatment plan so you could enjoy daily life a bit more?
Where do you draw the line between following medical advice and protecting your freedom or well-being?
Do you always listen to your doctors, or do you sometimes trust your body first?
Feel free to share honestly, even if your experience or opinion feels a little “against the grain.” You're not alone in wondering about these things.
