Remember kids,
JUST SAY NO TO CHRONIC ILLNESS
If a strange man in compression socks and a forearm crutch ever shows up at your door, opens up his trenchcoat and shows you the inner pockets filled with Dr.'s diagnoses, and asks, "Hey kid, ya' wanna buy some Chronic Illness??"
JUST SAY NO!
He'll probably stand there, insist on different cocktails of conditions, you JUST SAY NO!
Even if he insists fibromyalgia and lupus are safe to mix, even if he gives a three-for-one "comorbidity" deal of hEDS, POTS and CPRS, JUST SAY NO!
Oh and- if your friend ever comes up to you, with electrolytes in their pocket and with a knee brace, and offers to share some of their Graves Disease, YOU STILL, JUST SAY NO!
