Yes, my body is already ravaged with neuropathy, arthritis, and other things that I have not had officially addressed yet, mainly due to their randomness and infrequency.

I think what stings the most is the insinuation that all of this is me being a lazy chump who would rather mooch than work. That shit really burns my ass, as I have been trying to get help enough to try and work again for almost a decade now. But, we see how the game works. They know based on my age and medical history that I am not going to be productive enough for their taste anymore, so they just hope I will fade away and die in some remote ditch.
