Does anyone have an illness?

I have a blood disorder that requires me to get an injection at least once a month for the rest of my life or my body risks shutting down and dying.
I suppose that's less of a disease and more of a defect? I'm not sure how everything is categorized to be honest.

I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis, Sativa! Mental health can be so much harder to treat than something in your blood or bones. I know I have a very good friend who took over two years of doctor's experimenting with different types of meds and different dosage levels before she started to feel better, and even then there's a risk she'll have to change it up again in the future if the effects start to dampen.
