When you said "feral" I feel like a lot of things crystallized for me. I know I was born privileged in a lot of ways, but it's easy to forget the privilege of having somebody teach me the unwritten rules.

This has been an excellent AMA. Thank you so much for your time.

Yes, this. I had a hyst and one ovary out in my early 30s with no kids. I found a great surgeon who had a clue how crippling endo was for me, and she gave me zero flack. I know it's no cure, but it was a HUGE help. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

You aren't coming across poorly. I come into AMAs like this all sensitive (ready to be peeved) due to my own experiences with serious disability. I think you sound honest.

Random bit of info - people with SMA tend to have higher than average IQs. Bizarre world, isn't it?
