**NOTE: This post discusses a medical challenge my partner deals with. While we both deeply appreciate everyone's concern and support, please PLEASE note this is something we've been dealing with for years. I promise we've likely already tried or lack the spoons to pursue whatever miracle cure, PT exercise regimen, cream, pill, supplement, religious practice, pagan ritual, and so on you have for us. We appreciate it but this is not what we're here for at this particular moment.**
