For years, I assumed healthcare worked like clockwork. The pharmacy hands it over — nobody asks "what's really happening?". It felt safe. Eventually, it didn't feel right.
First came the fatigue. I told myself "this is normal". But my body was whispering something else. I searched forums. The warnings were there — just buried in jargon.

I started seeing: your body isn't a template. Two people can take the same pill and walk away with different futures. Reactions aren't always dramatic — just persistent. Still we trust too easily.
Now I question more. Not because I'm paranoid. I track everything. Not all doctors love that. This is self-respect, not defiance. The lesson that stuck most, it would be keyword.
