10 More Shitty Things Nobody Tells You About Life With Chronic Illness || #RivetRant

Here we are, back again, with a chronic illness post on a platform independent to a problematic website whose name rhymes with 'She Fighty'. Last year, I brought you 10 Shitty Things Nobody Tells You About Life With Chronic Illness, now here are another 10 things that are just as shitty as the last! 

Cartoon depiction of Rivet Licker, the author of this blog. She is a tired looking woman with short purple/pink hair and has thermometer in her mouth. She is wearing a bath robe and holding a mug of coffee in one hand, and the other is placed on her face. Text reads "Chronic Illness Is Shitty". An additional purple box is superimposed over the bottom of the image that reads 'now with even more shit! poo emoji'.

This post contains many trigger warnings, including, but not limited to discussion of mental health, dismissive doctors, financial woes, ableism, quackery, bodily functions, hormones, flashy GIFs, and a shitload of swearing.
