I'm only 22 and I have all of these conditions
syringomyelia
Crohn's disease
Graves disease
gallstones
scoliosis
intestinal stricture
tachycardia
myopia
chronic pain
myoclonus / myoclonic seizures
temporary paralysis/paresis
migraines
I'm sure there's more than that. Everyone my age that I meet is so... healthy. I feel bitter about it sometimes. I've met so many people with a minor condition that get better treatment and concern while I (and many others with serious conditions) are treated poorly. My pain is out of control and I have yet to meet a doctor who was as knowledgeable about my conditions as I am. There is rarely a moment that I don't feel like giving up completely. I haven't met anyone in person my age who can relate. Everyone I meet who is healthy seems to think it's so easy and you just need to have a strong will to survive and find a good doctor. *rolls eyes* I suppose I was that ignorant a few years ago, but I've seen for myself how terrible the medical system is today. Well, I just wanted to rant.
