    In all honesty, I don't really find today's generations tiktoks understandable. I mean good for all of you. But honestly I just find that all the content I consume so weird. Having said this, imagine how amazing it would be to actually have people who understand your chronic pain. I certainly can't relate, so I'm glad you all have your little Community. I really am. I just wish there was something like this here

    And here I am at age 30 having suffered for over 15 years with both prurigo nodularis and fibromyalgia and I don't even have any basic medication to even manage it. Never mind eradicates this. What people say about America atleast you have a good healthcare system. They say it's all free under the NHS but I've never received any adequate care and I'm literally being left to rockt not being able to study your work and then I'm being f****** persecuted as well.

    So I'm approaching 30 and I'm still not receiving any support whatsoever. It's the 30th of December 2024. I even spoke to a GP today and he did literally nothing to support me completely dismissing the fact that I don't even have money or food. Not everybody has the same foundations and imagine being chronically diseased including with Fibromyalgia and Prurigo Nodularis And I'm also congenitaly anosmic but I've never been diagnosed with it as despite being an NHS patient and approaching 30 years of age, I've never been seen by an ENT. I'm the epitome of someone who should never have been conceived. My father is dead. My mother had osteoarthritis and was blind in one eye, They had an age gap between them which I found utterly disgusting and they were very unhappy and they were completely mismatched and I don't to this day in the sun how and why I was born to them. Believe it or not, I don't have any specialist input from any medical professional and it has affected my ability to work, study, and live. You would not believe but each and every day days, weeks, months years time passes each night each afternoon and each day doing absolutely nothing because the correct medication and the support and the things that could be put in place have not been put in place despite my pleas for help. I understand you're all based in the US. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would like some solidarity and support at this ongoing horrific time in my pathetic life. Unfortunately, I'm not one of these strong souls who managed to end their own lives, but there is absolutely no quality of life right now. I'm in a shared house where the landlord hasn't even given me a tenancy agreement and there is no Health care support in place whatsoever. I don't drive, I don't have money, I don't have any backup and this is absolute torture
