Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

MODERATORS
Fell very sick and was diagnosed with a rare condition. It's allowed me to be more honest about how I'm feeling generally. And the lawsuit I won in regards to the whole thing allows me to live a modestly comfortable life whether working or not.
Wow, interesting! May I ask what you have, purely out of curiosity?
... the condition, not the money, of course. But if you want to mention that too, that'd be fine.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Basically, the artery running between my heart and lungs just started closing itself up for no discernable reason. That means rhat my body isn't getting nearly enough oxygen and that the right side of my heart is working itself to failure to try to compensate.
I've never heard of that. It sounds terrifying. How did that lead to a lawsuit?
