Too many "doctors" have told me that I'm just whining and the Mayo Clinic is just some expensive place for privileged people and the reason I haven't eaten for months is because I don't want to.

This entire time I have said over and over that I didn't want any medical advice. I have said that I only gave updates because people asked me to.

Frankly, I wanted to do one single rant and be done with it.

Now I'm sorry I ever said anything because people would rather harass me over it.

I really didn't expect to be harassed on the day that I finally got some good news about my health. Thanks, Lemmy.

I'll just stick to my normal communities where people don't pretend to be doctors.

Edit: if you actually want to know how I'm doing and do not want to lecture me or tell me your theories or give me treatment suggestions, feel free to send a private message.

Here’s to your good health mate. Hope you find yourself on the mend and some answers for what ails you. Not knowing can be as bad as the malaise in my experience.

Had an uncle drive himself to near insanity over a change in his body and while eventually the diagnosis came back terminal, the knowledge that he was right and all those who would not support his concerns had to eat their dismissals was a small comfort.
