When you have a disability or chronic illness the question will come up “Have you tried?” Then followed by it helped my friends’ aunt. True story. The intent is well meaning, but it can be discouraging. As a Chronic ill person, I have tried glutton free, wheat grass, bee pollen, a very questionable holistic doctor, so many medications, and so many more. It’s surprising that people don’t expect that we are looking for answers. I good rule of thumb is don’t offer advise unless it is asked for. It is also discouraging for someone who has tried that exact thing, and it didn’t have any effect on them. We are all on our own health journey. Encourage us is whatever path that we are on. It means a lot.
