Looking for Friends with Similar Health Issues

Hey there! I go by AJ to many people I meet. I'm 22 and a female. I'm on here to see if there's much people like me (truthfully I'm really not expecting all that much because despite the many people I do/did meet on a daily basis I was always the oddball out of the already weirdo group, but I'm here to see where this takes me because why not lol 🙈) I have an array of issues the app itself didn't list and couldn't put on here, but maybe they'll add what I've submitted in someday 😂 I hope you all are doing well and that we can become friends sometime and talk about all our perspectives on what we go through and the journey we're still going through. Kicking of the convo, what kinds of specialists are you guys seeing? Anything or anyone in particular that's changed your way of life or found that helped with your conditions?

@Tinie gosh that's so damn relatable 😒 I honestly feel that. It's crazy how alot of people think that just because you're younger you're somehow "unable" to have issues that older folks have. It's annoying as hell. The amount of times previous doctors told me exactly what you said is laughable

@it_is_what_it_is I get you the amount of times that I've gone to a new doctor and they read the list and either go "are you sure your 23?" Or "Are you sure all these are right?" I just joke I'm a 60 year old in a 23 year olds body so they drop it

@Tinie hey!! I'm 22 so it's nice to see people around my age also on this app. For sure it helps us feel less alone. I used to always get told that the type of issues I deal with are "only older folks issues" or that "a girl your age shouldnt have issues like that you just be doing it for attention" and I always sit there like 😑🙄😒

@Pheobe I actually recommend chiropractors. They really do help if you have bone issues and honestly anything related to alignment. You do have to do your research and find one around your area that knows what they're talking about, but that's kind of the same for any doctor you go to

Hi hope you enjoy this app as much as I do. Helps me feel less alone. I see a oncologist, rheumatologist, endocrinologist,cardiologist, and neurologist. I'm also being set up to see a geneticist. I'm 23 btw

Neurologist just once and chiropractor never.. I’ve kind of heard mixed opinions about them and it scared me a little, have you?

Hi AJ, hope you can find here a community you’ll enjoy! I’m seeing my therapist which absolutely changes my week for the better, an endocrinologist twice a year and my family doctor from time to time for more acute problems
