If you could get rid of one of your symptoms, which one would it be and why?

Hi, I have had migraines for a while now. To fall asleep, I used to keep my room chilly, quiet, and dark. I try to reduce overexposure to the lights and noises around me.

While in the hospital for the original lung cancer diagnosis, I also went in with Klebsiella Pneumonia and Enterobacter Pneumonia. I was treated with high doses of Vancomycin and Cefepime. I came out of the hospital with adenocarcinoma cancer of the right lower lobe, which was treated with radiation due to being inoperable because of my advanced stage emphysema. I also came out with encephalopathy which 2 1/2 years later has not gone away completely. I wish it would go away. Just had CT scan which showed some questionable changes. Will have PET scan January 27th, 2023

I've been struggling with chronic pain in my back and neck for a while now. It's affecting my daily life, making it difficult to do simple tasks like carrying groceries or walking up stairs. I want to get rid of this symptom because it's causing me a lot of discomfort and limiting my ability to live a normal life.

Hello everyone 🌼

How is everyone feeling today?

This is such an important discussion, sometimes just naming the symptom that weighs on us the most can feel like a little release. One member once told me, “If I could just get rid of the constant fatigue, I think I’d feel like myself again.” For many of us, it’s not even the pain, but the slow drain of energy, memory, or mood that chips away at our everyday life.

So let’s talk:

If you could wave a magic wand and remove one symptom, which one would it be?

How would it change your daily life, your relationships, or your independence?

The one thing that I would like to get rid of would be kidney disease. There are so many illnesses today and it seems like most of America is on medication and is what is keeping us alive.

I would get rid of having to go the bathroom urgently.

Agoraphobia, it ruins my whole life
