I can’t believe I have to explain this but
If someone with chronic illness seems cranky, it’s probably because they’re in pain.
How cheery would *you* be after days, weeks, months or even years of unrelenting discomfort?
Considering how many people whine when they get bruises or headcolds, it never ceases to amaze me how it comes as a shock to some that when I’m having a bad episode I’m not in the mood for putting up with bullshit.
