For me it was that my bed, which is just a box spring with legs, is supposed to have a mattress. I mean i do but its only an inch thick and cushions as much as your hoodie. So yeah, turns out i’ve been sleeping on a super hard spring for the past ten years. F**k you dad for cheaping out on my bed.

That repeat illnesses with pneumonia and sinus infections was just part of having allergies and asthma. Two years ago, at my annual appointment, my immunologist asked me to get a blood panel Iâd never heard of before. Iâve had the test several times now, and it turns out itâs an antibody titer, and I donât retain immunity to polysaccharide bacteria, even with repeat immunizations. Iâve had a pneumovax every year for almost 15 years and I have almost no immunity to 14 of the 23 variants tested, and, of the ones I do have some immunity to, only two have fully âprotectiveâ immunity. What kills me is that my mom, who was a critical care nurse, was convinced that I had something amiss with my immune system. She passed away in 2009 unexpectedly and I didnât get to tell her she was right. Way to go, Mom!!
