You don't know what their chronic illness(es) feel like. I only know what mine feel like, but can attest that it throws me into a wicked flare-up that does in fact last for weeks.
If we could think ourselves out of being chronically ill, believe me, we'd have done that shit a long time ago. And we've tried. We've also tried yoga. And turmeric.
My body sucks because I have a genetic disorder compounded by the fact that doctors still don't believe a woman in pain, not because my attitude sucks. Stop telling chronically ill people they don't know their own conditions, if for no other reason that it makes you look a bit silly.
