      It’s not just a shitty disease…. It’s a shitty disease that the Social Security Administration really, REALLY does not like to pay out disability for. Mostly because, unless something has changed recently, it’s hard to prove that you actually have it because it defies easily quantifiable medical testing, among other things.

      So, it would be a curse on multiple levels!

        I’m familiar with it. I have (“had” actually) family with it. Just trying to understand if OP was referencing something in particular.

        It sounds like OP was cursing this guy with the disease they have. So not random then.
