I'm unfortunately still undiagnosed, but I at least have managed to work on some of my other health problems. My spawn points deny that I have migraine because my MRI was clear. Yeah, a clear MRI is a requirement for diagnosis because otherwise I'd have been diagnosed with whatever they'd found instead. Testing for migraine is to rule out other issues that could be causing your symptoms. The extra stupid thing is that they deny I have health problems because "everyone in our family is so healthy". Yeah, apparently autoimmune conditions, diabetes, cancer, meningitis, and birth defects are "healthy". That's literally just my immediate family, not including me.

I do however no longer live with them so their control over my life is very limited. They even tried to forbid me from having a hysterectomy because, to quote my sperm donor, "We want real grandkids" (yes, "real" means bio, not adopted). Yeah, and I like living (no seriously, my doc said it's good I didn't want to be pregnant because she would've had to strongly advise me against it). I just told the staff at the hospital that no one besides my partner was allowed in, and she was already with me so don't let anyone else in.

So yeah, I'm in the pits of depression and still happier than when I lived with them. I've got a wonderful partner, sister, and friends.
