Yeah, that spin does exist and thank you for mentioning it. I have an "incurable" dread disease and am getting well when the world says it cannot be done. So, the spin that gets is "hypochondriac," "crazy person," "liar," "teller of tall tales," etc. It's been a long, hard marathon and the social piece has been shittier to deal with than the physical suffering. So this is definitely a sore point for me personally and it annoys me the number of folks downvoting my comments here to counteract any upvotes. It is just one more fuck you in a long line of them. I can't even take any credit for what I have done, not even in terms of what I have suffered. So, I still think this contest is wimpy compared to what I have endured. :-)
