Hello there, I hope youre well!
I have lived my whole life with a chronic illness, whicg has lead to a cascade of other wacky chronic ailments as I've grown. Very much in the same boat with "taking medicine to delay (MASSIVE) surgery.
I can empathize, if you ever want to trade stories or talk it out a bit, happy to throw that offer out. As well as resources if you need help or info!
much love to all!
p.s. To all: Go play But You Seem Fine. Its great in how it eximplifies invisible ailments/disabilities, and the challenges they can pose.
