It ended up being MS, which sucks, but better than dying lol
With MS, it sucked for the first couple years, and I still have some residual problems, but they have come out with a new series of medications that are pretty much game changers, as they say. It has completely stopped any new MS activity since I have been on it, almost 3 years now. Which ties into your next post.
I feel we will hit a beneficial curve soon in terms of growth in the field of medicine. Similar to how after the industrial revolution, the rate at which we have developed technology has been simply amazing. We went from Barely being able to fly, to landing on the moon within like 70 years. The development of the internet and computers has been insane. A little phone is more powerful than a super computer that took up the entire basement of a building within the span of like 70 years also.
They are creating straight up vaccines for common cancers like breast cancer. Even just 5 years ago, pancreatic cancer was sure death within 3-6 months. Now it can be stopped to the point of remission (if the person is young enough).
They are even creating vaccines for different types of dementia, including Alzheimer's. If it is caught early enough. And they are working on cures for more advanced dementias, that are showing a lot of promise.
Even within the last 1-2 years, there have been amazing advancements in spine surgery and ortho surgeries. 2 years ago, someone would have spine surgery and need to go to a rehab for 3-6 weeks, needing max assistance, and have a massive wound (sutured). Now it is so minimally invasive, people are having the same, significant spine surgeries, and able to be discharged home the next day. They are able to walk themselves, and go on with their life, with minimal outpatient rehab.
You can never beat cancer in the long run. At best something beats you before it does.
