General Discussion

I too suffer from venous insufficiency and have been having various treatments for it since 2017. Is it just me, or did this (probably fake) diagnosis feel insulting to others who have it? My first thought was, "I don't want to have ANYTHING in common with that motherf#cker!" And now, as I predicted to my daughter when it was announced, everyone and their brother is now talking about the condition. Even though I know on an intellectual level that it's ridiculous to feel this way, all these people jabbering about it somehow feels like an invasion of privacy (for me and other decent people who deal with this, that is - I couldn't give a rat's if every bit of sensitive information on the orange menace became fodder for the gossip mill!).
