Dear r/medicine, r/science, r/Obstetrics_Gynecology, r/AskDocs
Please help us.
We're really struggling, and many of us don't know how much longer we can go on like this.
This disease has wrecked so many lives, and the fact that there's no cure is just insanely horrifying.
We don't deserve to be living in such agony. every. single. day.
If men had it, I'm sure there'd be a cure available at a reasonable cost across the world.
Thank you.
I worry that Nairobi is becoming more and more like India's big cities. It's becoming crazy expensive, less green, littered, and the roads are havoc. Spending so much time in traffic feels so unsustainable. Even when I am driving, I worry if boda boda / nganya drivers have a death wish of some sort because they ride like they have no concern for their lives or others' lives. Not to mention the state of our infrastructure ..... It's very sad. This doesn't feel like the Nairobi I grew up in. I feel, as Nairobians, we need to take responsibility for our own city. If not for us, then for future generations. Yes - development is great - but is it great at the cost of our lives and health? It's no longer the green city in the sun - it's just the concrete jungle in the sun now.
I am struggling with a chronic condition - all I am doing is rounds of doctors, while trying to balance work and also balance the fact that I am single. I feel lonely and feel I have no support. My family is very stressed I am single. My family comes to appointments with me but feel like a huge burden on them, so I hide my struggles. I also keep thinking when will I get married? :/ and also hoping my husband will support me in all these struggles.
