Definitely makes sense Peter. Controlling Chronic conditions can be very stressful and that's why I think this site is such a blessing.....community, prayer, support, no judgement. Stress can really play havoc with chronic conditions.
Thanks so much for explaining.
God bless

Hello Vanessa
Great question. Diabetes is a good example of a chronic condition, because it is ongoing, where insulin may be taken to keep it manageable so that one can live normally. What I find compelling, is diet can become equally effective and even may free one of the need to take insulin. Either way, the disease is considered chronic.
Therefor, a chronic condition is one that becomes manageable through certain necessary needed behaviors. And this is why regarding my Lyme disease, I use the term "in remission" to describe it as chronic, yet controllable. Hope this helps with your question.
Godspeed,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Enjoyed reading this post on 'acute' vs 'chronic'. Thnx so much for the insight.
This line..... "Unlike acute conditions, chronic health conditions cannot be cured—only controlled." confused me :(. Would love to hear more on it.
As always I love reading your posts. Thnx a lot for your on-going dedication to help heal.
Blessings
Vanessa
