I had almost exactly the same thing. Had a reversal almost 16 years ago.

Just know at the beginning it will be hard, but you will figure it out and it will get easier. You will be surprised at how understanding most people are.

My advice to you is to sleep with a towel under you!

    OP please listen to this advice. You may not think it's warranted, but please talk to a health professional about this. Your post has telltale signs delusional, paranoid thinking.

    The worst that can happen is the doctors will say nothing is wrong and you will be out a few bucks. But more likely they will help you find out what is happening much better than strangers on Lemmy ever could.

    If you absolutely refuse to go to a medical professional, at least check your apartment for carbon monoxide or black mold.

    Good luck.

    It's not (entirely) true. Although NASA did initially rescind their offer to her, Hickam actually stepped in to help and convinced them to renew the offer. But only the initial part of the story survives because it's rage-inducing and that is what fuels clicks.. OP should be ashamed for only posting half the story. But here I am "generating engagement" so... here we are...

    Brought to you by the "covid rates are too high; we need to stop testing" administration. With other notable hits like: "let's save billions by cutting programs that have up-front costs [with no consideration about the long term net gains from such programs]". These are such sad and stupid times we live in.
