how to avoid becoming a medical mystery, and all i can say it- boy howdy.

i am a multi-generational medical mystery.
we know i have a bad case of shogren's, as did my da. but i had to fight for that for years because of 1 anomalous test result.
2 of my 3 daughters are also mysteries. there are similarities as well as differences.

tho cancer took my da at 63, this shit put out his very bright light long before that.
i'll be 67 in a few weeks, so i am ahead of the game so far.
but i am truly sick of this half life.
