Welcome to Chronic-Illness.org. In an ongoing efforts to continue to add timely information and make it easier for you to find things on this site, it is in the process of being transitioned to a new database-driven, WordPress system.
Thank you in advance for your patience until this transition is completed. Old links to previously existing pages will automatically update to the new page location. However, until everything is moved into the new system, you may need to rely on your browser's back button to return to an original menu.
In addition to the chronic illness- and chronic condition-related t-shirt and gift idea designs, information, and articles on this site, Chronic-Illness.org is also the home of the Chronic Illness Realities comic strips.
Pammy is the main character in two comic strips by Pamela Rice Hahn, the first of which is the Writing Woes comic strip. Pammy is a writer who is also disabled because of chronic illness and chronic conditions, so she also appears in the Chronic Illness Realities comic strip.
Pam created chronic-illness.org because she herself copes with several disabling chronic illnesses and conditions: exercise-intolerant Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)*, Fibromalgia, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS)**, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), arthritis, gout, and high blood pressure. In addition, Pam has balance problems stemming from a childhood fractured skull.

*Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is also known as Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.)
**Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) is also referred to as Environmental Illness (EI).
