I'm much like you
Anika a sickly environment takes a much larger toll on my overall wellbeing. It has done alot for my mental health to move away from the 'ill' mindset and not have dr's appointments every other week. Like suga, I dont have a crisis plan in check tho (not a medical one anyway) but maybe in future, when I actually have health insurance, I'll see if I can get a standby T like yours...
DHX Idk if its an actual symptom, it may be human nature, fueled by bp 'confidence'
