You are so preaching to the chronic illness choir, JT, this morning my Hashi's has flared up and I have spent the last few hours trying to work while being half choked by my annoyed thyroid gland. Sigh. Guess I will have to do a bit more resting😉
And pain is pain, I think it hurts no matter how much of it we have to bear or for how long. We are definitely all in this together...
