Chronic Disease: Living with a disease for life

A chronic disease is a medical problem that lasts for a long time – even for a lifetime. Most people are used to getting sick, feeling bad for awhile, but then getting better.

Dealing with a chronic disease can be much harder. A portion of your time is always used in treating the disease or going to the doctor.

Someone with a chronic disease has to be vigilant to avoid situations that will make him or her sick: such as eating the wrong thing or doing an activity that will bring on symptoms. Emotionally and socially, that can be very hard on a teen.

This section introduces you to three common chronic diseases that affect youth. If you have one of these diseases you might find some helpful links on these pages.

If you have a friend with one of these chronic diseases, read on to understand the challenges your friend faces.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing

A man having little learning does much harm to him as well as to others. Sometimes he proves to be a danger to society. Such a man boasts of his learning. He talks and behaves in such a way that he knows much. But really learned men never make a show of their learning. They are modest.They know that though they have learned much.

But really learned men never make a show of their learning. They are modest. They know that though they have learned much, they have yet to learn much more. The truth of the saying is clearly shown in the case of a quack. He has got a little knowledge of medicine.

But he tries to prove that he is an efficient doctor. He is bold enough to treat diseases of which he knows very little. The result is that he makes the case worse and sometimes kills his patient. So a quack is a danger to society.

A machine with a little straining may also prove to be dangerous. He may handle machine, but he does not know how to work them well. The machine may be damaged. He may lose his own life even. So a man should always try to make an exact estimate of his worth. He should not pose to be what he is not really. By this he will do no good not only to society but also to himself.
