Health

both friends and doctors try to push me towards using these drugs and it angers and insults me.

Although I am very overweight and have asthma and vein issues, my vitals remain otherwise fantastic (blood pressure, blood sugar, resting heart rate, bloodwork etc.). All my life, I've had bizarre reactions to prescription drugs and am allergic to so many it's easier to say what I can take than what I can't. While I'm in no way anti-science or anti-vaxx or anything (I continue getting COVID boosters every 4 months), I only like to take a medication if it's necessary and there's no other alternative.

No thanks to going blind, never enjoying food again, having no discernible personality, possibly developing thyroid cancer and gaining the weight right back and then some the minute I stop taking pills.
