It's almost impressive how many horrible outcomes people are able to hand-wave away under the pretense of "that happens to other people, not me"
I'm chronically ill. Trust me, you do not want to become chronically ill in the process of "living your life". It will be the last time you "live your life" without being in complete and utter misery forever. Simple pleasures like "laying down" are a fucking nightmare for me. I rarely have the energy to cook or clean after work. Fees pile up as everything costs way more money if there's even a small step you can't easily do yourself (like picking up groceries).
Take this seriously, everyone, I'm begging you. I'm like one chronic condition from no longer being able to work, thus being discarded by this evil country. You don't want to be like me.
You’re not alone. The disabled community has been screaming this whole time, “hey you don’t want a large swath of your populace to suddenly be disabled. It really sucks.” And it’s just like no one cares.
I had Lyme disease and still felt terrible for a long time after antibiotics. Feeling "wrong" and like you are never going to "return to normal" again is truly fucking horrible. You feel trapped in your own body. Thankfully I slowly improved, but I can't agree enough.
I'm so sorry you went through that. I had a childhood friend go through that with lyme dusease. Was about a decade of awful for him. He's finally feeling mostly better these days.

I'm sorry comrade. Thanks for warning us all. Btw is this covid related?
Nope, autoimmune diseases. I've been a hermit for 3 years.

No one can really fathom it until it happens to them. It's driven me down some dark holes these past few years.
