The thing about straw man argument is that's it's just bait. If someone is thinking this way it's a waste of your emery attempting to explain the truth to them.

They didn't get to their conclusion logically so you cannot use logic to illuminate them.

The View From The River Bed popped into my mind while resting with my eyes shut for my usual number of 3-5 hours one afternoon. It is drawn with bronze & white gel pens, but the photo makes the bronze look orange.

Went to the hospitalll!
Turns out my stomach acid was cooking me alive and tearing down my stomach lining as well as triggering all my flare ups and causing false heart attack symptoms.

wrote 50k of a book loosely based on my experience getting diagnosed with EDS in 2018-2019, fell off writing it, just picked it up to brutally cull it down to 31k and try again. Let's see if I can finally finish it lmao

My ophthalmology tests came back with good results. However, I do require a low prescription for far sightedness. Aside from that, I was told there ISN'T any diabetic or concussion abnormalities. I'm manifesting more good news in tomorrow's EEG appointment.

Anyone with #chronicillness especially with multiple making it super complex, will understand the degrading, exhausting hell that getting proper medical care is.

Especially when it comes to muggle issues and muggle doctors..

But I'm terrified of the recovery..
