Players With Chronic Illness

[Fizzie]

So I was just wondering if there were any other players on here that suffer with chronic illnesses?

FFXIV ARR did win best game of the year from Ablegamers charity.

That's amazing! I had no idea!

[Chambers]

Yes there are.

[Muzetta]

I imagine there's plenty. Not something you just throw out there I guess so more often than not I'd assume you just don't know it about someone.

I dont know, these are things that are pretty personal. And unless you get to know someone really well, they might not be willing to share.

It took a while before one of my FC friends told us she was deaf. We were all completely fine with it. But the main point was that she didnt want anyone to think diffirently of her or act diffirently towards her.

I bet it's that way for a lot of people. Especially those with chronic illnesses.

Do they play? I have no doubt that they do. But dont expect them to shout it off the roofs that they do.

In which case, they don't have to. I'm not forcing anyone to say anything they don't want to.

Maybe?

I am epileptic. Only was an issue once so far, I woke up somewhat on the floor and 3/4 members in my Haukke Manor NM party were doing /poke emotes at me. ._.; Ugh. LOL

I also have some yet to be diagnosed stomach issue that makes me have to go AFK at the weirdest times. Multiple times. TMI?

A little annoying. People think I am not raiding because I am lazy or don't want to and thus kinda stopped asking, which is good I guess because 90% of the time I wouldn't have the strength to finish a raid. Every now and then I just get this health boost where I whack through as much content as I can before I feel too sick again.

playing this particular game while being epileptic. either you have balls of steel (or the female equivalent), or a very good healthcare plan (magic dps LB? holy f)

and, please let that stomach issue checked out, I don't know you, it isn't of my concern, but let me tell you, do it.
