[quote=Anonymous]If autoimmune, diet could help. My asthma improved when I cleaned up my diet. The problem with dietary restrictions is that they can have side effects as well. No added sugar is fine, but I know people who developed IBS after going paleo.

Almost all of these autoimmune diseases travel in packs. To the lay person, they can look like hypochondria.

We have the asthma-allergies-eczema cluster in my family. So I have that on top of three other much more serious chronic conditions (two of which are relatively rare but can be confirmed by medical tests and are not mistakable for anything else). Yes, I have a dedicated shelf for medication in my early 40s. However, I take the bare minimum of any medication that I need to be able to physically function, only one is for pain, and even that is not narcotic. I also work full time (except for sick leave) and am a divorced parent with 80% custody.

There's a lot of things that I could do that would make me more comfortable physically like disabled plates or braces. All of them would come with the scorn and condemnation of strangers who know nothing about me.
