You can create a Group within the community (maybe on a specific disease, or a goal you have) and you can chat with other members in our chat room (you can participate any time you're logged in.)

Babes, we are not doctors. Nor are we lawyers. In fact, we're just a bunch of women (and a few men) who are sick and want to share resources. So please be careful what you do after reading medical advice here. Always speak to your health care professional before trying a new medication, supplement, exercise routine, etc. ChronicBabe.com and its staff are not liable if bad stuff happens to you, and we would hate for bad stuff to happen to you! So be smart, savvy, and do your own research. XO Jenni, the Editrix

How do you handle guilt that others tend to put on you when you cancel, yet again? How do you get through to people that your illness is holding you back and your not cancelling to be anti-social? How do you get others to recognize your illness is "real" and try to get emotional support? Dilemma. The past 3 years have been really hard for me in these…
