I was a fairly healthy kid. I had ankles that tended to roll often but my health was good. For the first 14ish years of my life the biggest thing I had been through medically was a dog bite.
Then I went to Europe and got some foreign bug… or so the doctors thought for six months. Then I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. Don’t google it. It’s gross. It pretty much means my body rejects things randomly in the form of diarrhea.
That’s it right…. wrong. The steroids for the first diagnosis started the snowball that became my life in high school. My back constantly hurt which lead to tests which lead to two handfuls of more medical issues that were ‘found’.
I was finally back on my feet when I hit college and then two years in a headache started and didn’t stop. And that’s where we are today, four years later still with a headache.
