“Healthy” is not a one-size-fits-all. It has taken me years to accept that when I go into crisis I will have to do certain things that society considers “unhealthy” in order to stop long-term damage to my muscles. As the patient, it’s important to remember your worth, and trust in yourself and your care team to know what is best for you—not your co-worker who swears by intermittent fasting. I’m grateful that I have stopped trying to blend in and hide my quirks and instead welcome the questions from others, even if their approach could use a little work because that is best for me.
