Ik weet niet wat erger is: de opmerkingen dat je een aansteller of een hypochonder bent, dat je je niet zo moet aanstellen; de constante teleurstelling met groeiende wanhoop omdat je geen diagnose of effectieve hulp krijgt; of de pijn, uitputting en concentratieproblemen die van het dagelijks leven een hindernisbaan maken. Misschien is het de combinatie van alles, of het besef dat het nooit echt zal ophouden.

Non so cosa sia peggio: le affermazioni secondo cui si è simulatori o ipocondriaci, che bisogna smettere di esagerare; la delusione costante con una crescente disperazione perché non si riceve né una diagnosi né un aiuto efficace; oppure il dolore, la stanchezza e la difficoltà di concentrazione che trasformano la vita quotidiana in un percorso a ostacoli. Forse è la combinazione di tutto ciò, o la consapevolezza che non finirà mai davvero.

I don't know what's worse: the remarks claiming you are a malingerer or a hypochondriac, telling you to stop exaggerating; the constant disappointment with growing despair because you receive neither a diagnosis nor effective help; or the pain, exhaustion, and difficulty concentrating that turn everyday life into an obstacle course. Perhaps it is the combination of all of these, or the realization that it will never truly stop.

Jag vet inte vad som är värst: kommentarerna som säger att man är en simulant eller hypokondriker, att man ska sluta överdriva; den ständiga besvikelsen med växande förtvivlan eftersom man varken får diagnos eller effektiv hjälp; eller smärtan, utmattningen och koncentrationssvårigheterna som gör vardagen till en hinderbana. Kanske är det kombinationen av allt, eller insikten om att det aldrig riktigt kommer att sluta.

No sé qué es peor: las afirmaciones de que uno es un simulador o un hipocondríaco, que debe dejar de exagerar; la decepción constante con una creciente desesperación porque no se recibe ni un diagnóstico ni una ayuda eficaz; o el dolor, el agotamiento y la dificultad para concentrarse que convierten la vida diaria en una carrera de obstáculos. Tal vez sea la combinación de todo esto, o la conciencia de que nunca se detendrá realmente.

Je ne sais pas ce qui est pire : les remarques disant que vous êtes un simulateur ou un hypocondriaque, qu'il faut arrêter d'en faire toute une histoire ; la déception constante avec un désespoir croissant parce que vous n'obtenez ni diagnostic ni aide efficace ; ou bien la douleur, l'épuisement et les difficultés de concentration qui transforment le quotidien en parcours du combattant. C'est peut-être la combinaison de tout cela, ou la prise de conscience que cela ne s'arrêtera jamais vraiment.

Osteoporosis. Osteoarthritis. They sound nearly identical. They share a prefix. They both show up after forty. But they are not the same condition—and until you understand the difference, it's almost impossible to know what to actually do about either. In this short, plainspoken booklet, Dr. Cary Yurkiw—chiropractor, health coach, and author with more than thirty years in clinical practice—cuts through the confusion. You'll learn the real difference between weak bones and rusty joints, the daily habits that protect both, and a simple thirty-day plan you can start this week.
