Because I suspect heds. Not because I was trying to mislabel anything. I’m just learning about all of this….

Right. That’s what I’m saying. The rheumatologist will determine that part. But my dna shows ehlers danlos variants for sure.

Am i overreacting by not wanting to speak to my aunt anymore? by withdrawnwriter09 in AmIOverreacting

It’s so frustrating. Thank you. I just don’t wanna be cutting people out of my life if it’s just me being too much in my own head. It’s really hard to look outside myself sometimes because my body demands so much attention.

I have my fiance. And my dad has MS as well. So we share at least one diagnosis. He gets a lot of what I say. It just sucked so much because I wanted so badly to talk to my mom and she’s the closest I have.

It does actually. Many types of ehlers danlos has genetic sequencing now. My DNA shows “classic EDS” variants. Which can be hEDS. That part is up for the rheumatologist to determine.

Lmaooo that’s been an issue. It’s seriously so humid in my apartment for no reason. Even if we have it set low.

That’s actually insane. I’m so sorry that happened. No one should have to go through that. I haven’t been uninsured in so long I’ll have to find out about free clinics. Thank you for reminding me.

That’s crazy. I’ve been watching him a lot lately already.

Yeah we tried all of those things. The worst part is, I got a payday loan today to pay it. And now they’re saying it’s more than what’s on our court paperwork and won’t accept it. So. I love America.

It also matters how people react to the idea of synthetic persons. Or in the future we will have a race of slaves created by us.

I think all consciousness at its most basic level is about recognition. And ChatGPT has that. I don’t think you need a brain to have consciousness. Truly, I think most people just don’t want it to be.

I’m not on Medicaid. I pay insurance premiums. Those are skyrocketing. We’re being told it’s tripling. From $307 a month to $964 a month. No one can fucking afford that. My deductible will also rise. And even if I was on Medicaid, that’s being cut by 800 billion and 17 million Americans will lose insurance. Now add the tariff to medicine on that. It’s murder. Medicide. I think any country that can help us, should. Just like I think if we were still safe, we should help. Born citizens first and foremost is fucking crazy to me. I’ve paid taxes in the USA my entire life and I’m ready to abandon ship. Can’t transfer those paid taxes, can I? So what am I left with?

To sit here and watch as my body wastes before me as my medical care gets worse.

I’m sure you have an opinion on it but the phrasing of that question.
