Honest question, would you share that body working normally with having an effective timeshare control?

No offense but… What? Are you asking if I’d rather be healthy and live like these two women than have my condition?

If so, then… no. Partially because by my understanding they are not, and cannot, be healthy. They each have control of only one leg and arm. They have reduced lung capacity, and one has pretty severe scoliosis. I think they live in a not insignificant amount of pain.

Even if they were healthy, no. I enjoy my privacy too much, and I can’t even imagine what my childhood would have been like. Mine sucked, don’t get me wrong, but.. as much as I resent how much my body and mind have been shaped by my condition, this would be on another level.

I normally respect the privacy aspect of a health condition, but in this instance out of curiosity why even bring it up? Then to act like someone who asked a question is dumb when you don’t elaborate beyond “chronic illness” is odd.

It shuts down any chance at conversation because no one knows what we could be talking about, so unless you’re just fishing for “get well soon” comments I really don’t get it.

My thoughts exactly.
