A Beginner’s Guide to Managing Multiple Conditions: Bezzy
One chronic disease is hard to manage, but more than one makes life chaotic. Find ways to get organized, take notes, and, above all, be kind to yourself as priorities change.
I always thought I was a good multitasker. Then I was put to the test when I had to manage multiple chronic conditions.

Unfortunately, when you have one chronic disease, it’s not uncommon to develop another. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
It’s a lot harder to manage multiple diseases than many would imagine. Sometimes, it can feel like taking care of two (or more) toddlers at once. There are times when it’s peaceful, when one won’t stop running around, and when there are non-stop tantrums. It can be chaotic.
