It's really a health thing in general. If someone tells you they're struggling with an illness, they almost certainly do not want you to be an armchair doctor. They're almost certainly telling it to you for a reason other than getting medical advice from you unless they specifically ask for it.

Not only do some people not take no for an answer, some people actually get incredibly irate about it. I had someone here on Lemmy literally start harassing me in different communities and repeatedly in PM because their so-called medical advice, which was already discounted by my doctors, was not taken seriously.

Your post mentioned medical advice so many times I can only assume you're looking for some, so here: whatever you do, avoid being gamma radiated in space. Otherwise, you might become a member of the fantastic four, which will be horrible for your mental health.

That bit about reminding you in different communities to avoid being gamma radiated in space sounds effective but also like a lot of work. Could you just copy/paste the above paragraph to the bottom of all your future comments to save me some effort? Thanks!

Hope you're able to eat more these days and that your issue isn't an early symptom of turning into a member of the fantastic four.
