Introducing... chronically ill!reader
This is a reader archetype that was created to be Daryl's partner. While I never give her conditions a name, she displays symptoms of the following; POTS, EDS, PCOS, and an unspecified chronic pain condition. These are all things that I have been diagnosed with, so I write based on my own experience. I do not give any medical advice, though. Hopefully, someone out there can relate to this reader archetype. Love y’all <33
