i think it's beyond fucked that medical professionals expect you to deal with misery as long as it's not actually killing you. even when there are procedures and therapies and medications, doctors always wait until the very last second until it's actually life or death. preventative medicine is so hard to find. sick and disabled people are forced to live with misery simply because we're not actively dying.
nobody should have to sit around miserable just because they *technically* can survive this. is it really even surviving when you can't function?
