I also discuss my health more online. It's easier to be honest with strangers about my legit fears and worries. Like, the new medicine I'm on for whatever rheumatic disease I have (will hopefully be getting a diagnosis in September) can make me go blind with long-term use. I don't want to go blind, but 20-30 years of not feeling like absolute dog shit would be worth it imo. Idk what I'll do if I am one of the people who has their sight impacted. Hopefully by then there will be treatment for that. Right now, I'm just trying to focus on the fact that I'm starting to feel okay for the first time in my life.
