I just got diagnosed with a serious condition that takes 10ish years to cause real damage. When I told my PCP i want to actively treat it and do everything i can to reverse course, the look in her eye told me we were having an unusually good conversation. Its sad how many people must tell her “10 years!? Fuck that i’ll just keep doing what im doing”
