If someone with a chronic illness tells you they can’t do something without serious repercussions (severe pain, fatigue, sickness etc.) that means they CAN’T do it. it doesn’t mean they should just push themselves or they just do it that once or maybe just give it a go. if a chronically ill person cannot do something without hurting themselves then please just accept that they can’t and should not do it. support them, listen to them and don’t coerce them into doing the thing that WILL cause them harm.
