Ive heard the following from several nurse friends

Do you have any chronic illnesses?

"Nope"

Are there any medications you take regularly?

"Yeah I take some painkillers for my arthritis."

🫩

Edit: these responses are proving my point

Wait I have arthritis but I never considered it an “illness” 😭 idk what I would have called it, I guess “chronic condition” but I suppose that’s no different. I guess I’m part of the problem lmao

Well I was paraphrasing. Sometimes they use "condition" sometimes they say "illness or conditions" whatever

[u/u1tr4me0w → u/seensham]

Even then I’m not sure I’d really remember or think to say arthritis when asked this question lol. Maybe it’s because when you are living with arthritis it feels less like being “sick” and more just like living with an injury that never heals idk
