Thank you for writing this! I was born sick. I was told I would die as a child, but I did crazy amounts of research and live a healthier life than all but one of my friends who grows all her own produce.

I didn’t make myself sick and people really take health for granted. I don’t have family with extra money. Luckily, I’ve been working at places with some variety of insurance, even through the health debacles, since I was a teenager.

Healthcare is grossly over-priced and I also use eastern medicine that keeps me healthier, so I don’t have as many flare-ups, but it’s been a lifelong struggle with so many doctors. Thank you for speaking up.
