    Well, they are wishing that to/for you, which is technically nice; but otoh I am also very aware that many people are just dropping it to get out asap. So hm.

      Well when you have a lifelong illness, it gets tiring real fast.

      Imagine telling someone with an amputated arm “get better soon”. Same situation with telling someone with an incurable lifelong disease.

    “When do you plan on getting a ‘real job’?”

    When I won’t be fired for taking “too many sick days”, thanks.

    (Hint: “too many sick days” = 3 - 4 max per year or so)

    It is of course possible that it just disappeares overnight but you have to be the luckiest jumble of atoms in the entire universe and likely more.
