How has your condition changed the way you view your body?

Hello everyone,

Living with a chronic illness can change the way we see and feel about our bodies. Dealing with symptoms, side effects, or physical changes can sometimes make it hard to feel connected or positive about our own bodies.

How has your condition changed the way you view your body? Have you found ways to improve your self-image or feel more accepting of your body as it is?
