I always feel like I’m not sick enough or in enough pain. I’m a runner but that doesn’t mean my pain isn’t real. I can still function but that doesn’t mean my pain isn’t bad. I still have pain and fatigue, I just feel like a fraud

Same! I feel like I have to be at the same point I was when it was at its worst for it to count so when I have joint pain or fatigue or congestion I’m just being a wimp and I need to get over it but I just can’t

I did a bunch of sports in high school so I always felt like I was faking it. Sadly that feeling doesn’t always go away
