Chronic Illnesses can be cured?
A chronic illness is a condition that lasts for a very long
time and usually cannot be cured completely, although some illnesses can be
controlled or managed through lifestyle (diet and exercise) and certain
medications.
A chronic or long-term illness means having to adjust to the
demands of the illness and the therapy used to treat the condition. There may
be additional stresses since chronic illness might change the way you live, see
yourself, and relate to others.
Chronic or long-term illness and its treatment pose special
problems. You need to learn how to:
|
*live with
the physical effects of the illness |
|
*deal with
the treatments |
|
*make sure
there is clear communication with doctors |
|
*maintain
emotional balance to cope with negative feelings |
|
*maintain
confidence and a positive self-image. |
Type of help available for chronic illness
Dealing with the stresses of chronic illness can be
demanding and it puts extra pressure on you. It is important you speak to your
doctor or healthcare provider, associations about your feelings, and how
effectively you think you are coping with the illness and its treatment.
Ways to cope with chronic illness
There is a range of ways to deal with the stress of chronic
illness. These include:
1.
finding information – this can help if you feel
helpless or out of control
2.
emotional support from others – particularly
family and friends, can be a source of great help
3.
joining a well-facilitated support group
4.
setting concrete, short-term goals – to restore
certainty, power, and control
5.
thinking about possible outcomes – discussing
them with the doctor can help you to face them before they become a reality.
6.
The overall aim of these strategies is to help
put your illness into context and give some meaning to what is happening.
