I'd rather work than be sick

Some things I'll write here so that people know.
I am not lazy. I AM sick.
What takes a few minutes for you takes much longer for me.
I live with chronic pain and the need to keep a toilet close by.
I can not eat or drink whatever I want without severe consequences.
Any activity I do, do comes at a price of more pain and more peeing. ANY. ACTIVITY.
I'd MUCH RATHER be healthy and WORK FULLTIME and have a satisfying career, than be at appointments all the time that are just to try and make my life semi bearable.
Trust me WORK is better than constant PAINFUL PROCEDURES that I do to try to find a way to live in some sort of way that is not ALWAYS PAINFUL.
So I am sorry that I am broken. I've done everything I can to fix myself. I have fought insurance, doctors, family and friends who assume they know what I go through 24/7 365 days a year.
At some point enough is enough and unless you go through this then I dont expect you to really understand or care.
All I ask is that you not assume my days are easier than yours, that I would WANT to be sick rather than well.
