Let me just tell you something. I was in the prime of my life in Graduate School working on a Doctorate seeing patients 4 days a week. I worked out everyday even when I didn’t feel like it and I’m a vegetarian. I was in peak physical condition when I was struck by Lupus. So tell me if your such a genius what was it I was doing wrong that caused it. Oh wait you don’t have an answer for that one. Now I’m no longer able to stay in school fighting for my life everyday! I have nearly died twice in the last year. All I’m saying is why don’t you take a look at what you said. Now think about this happening to you or someone in your family God forbid. Do you really think we are asking for it? Because even though I may not have that many days left on this earth I still am trying to make a difference in this world! This post is for all of us fighting the pain, the tears, the despair, but also the joys in life that keep us moving forward! Also, to those who have lost the fight waiting for a cure!
Nearly 1 in 2 Americans (133 million) live with a chronic illness.
At that rate, we’ll need to make half of all parking lots handicap accessible only spots.
I’m sorry, but the majority of these problems ironically come from the lack of exercise and poor eating habits.
Perhaps we ought to put everyone’s handicap place, save for those who have an actual cane or chair, on the outskirts of the parking lot.
Now, I didn’t say that everyone’s problems are from a lack of exercise or poor eating habits, did I? At least you were trying to stay healthy. Can you honestly say that the majority of people take the pains you did to prevent a chronic problem? I would think not.
I’m sorry you have such a problem, but to attack someone who is simply stating that the majority of people with chronic problems (obesity, heart conditions, diabetes, etc.) greatly or completely encouraged their situation by their own bad choices over time, is ridiculous.
Get over yourself. My comments stand.
