Let’s yarn about chronic sickness, Mob 💬🩺
Chronic sickness means you’re sick for a long time — like with diabetes, heart problems, or asthma.
It can make you feel tired, sore, or unwell most days. But if you look after it early, you can feel better and live strong.
✅ Go to your doctor or health worker
✅ Take your medicine
✅ Eat good food and stay active
Come see the team at IAMS for a check-up and a yarn. We’re here for you.
