  • I was like this. Saw a new rheumatologist who took my various symptoms seriously. Turns out I’m chronically deficient in vitamin D. Had to take weekly megadosea for 3 months and now I’m on a daily supplement of a lower dose. I also started hydroxychloroquine for whatever autoimmune disease I have (I’ll hopefully be getting a formal diagnosis on the 16th)

    I feel so much better than I did. I actually have a life now and can go out and do things I enjoy.

    Absolute life-changing treatment. I’ve been trying to get rheumatologists to take me seriously for 20 years.













  • I wouldn’t want special treatment for it though. Like, I want the title and satisfaction it would bring. A PhD is a huge achievement and I would be getting the degree to better myself. I want to accomplish great things for myself and myself alone. I’m also in IT, so a PhD would only help me in my career if I wanted to go into academia.
