Wanna talk about the Nocebo Effect? That sounds super interesting, especially since you specified Lance-
“Early onset type 1 myotonic dystrophy. The words lived at the very top of every search history. Articles, forums, and videos were bookmarked at the top of the browser window. They had stayed there, had accumulated there since the day she told him about it.
She’d kept it secret for some time, even from him. For so long, Allura had simply been clumsy, she just had bad luck and constantly sprained something or other, and really, who didn’t love naps? It was easy for her to forget things and she struggled with math, but that was fine because Lance was great at math, and he didn’t mind repeating himself.
It wasn’t until her doctor visits became way too constant that she invited Lance over and they’d sat in her uncle’s garden and she told him the truth.
She’d been diagnosed when she started middle school, but doctors assured her she could live a relatively normal life with just a bit of difficulty. But it was getting harder to do things, harder to dance, to clean, to focus, to stay awake. Her hand began to lock up for almost an hour if she clenched it for any reason, and if she exerted herself too much it was hard to breathe.”
This is literally all I have for it because I realized I never put Lance’s past on a timeline like I did with Keith. asjdf;kladjsf.
