  • That would require my family to not be extremely tight-lipped about their medical history for no apparent reason. I know nothing beyond general descriptions and a few common names of conditions to watch put for (diabetes, heart, blood pressure, “endocrine issues”) despite explicitly asking for purposes of testing with a doctor. That and I haven’t been to a PCP since I was in high school (maybe longer). I’ll get there… eventually.

    Oh, and im fat; not like, mobility scooter stereotype, but i could stand to lose a good 40-50 pounds. Legs and arms are actually fairly muscular, its all torso.


  • The most normal movements can be painful for no apparent reason, my knees sometimes try to bend the wrong direction while I walk, sneezing too hard can make everything ache painfully for a good 30 minutes or more, etc.

    I can move my calves up and down and feel my knees “scrape” together as they move.

    Lovely family history of degenerative bone and muscle issues, as well as just plain ol pain.
