I have a very severe, very rare post birth defect. It's a mix between a terminal lung disease, cardiovascular problem, tendon elasticity problem and cognitive issue. Think cystic fibrosis with tachycardia, with a mix of mild dementia. The prognosis is ... shit to say the least. Some of the major problems though that have become worst over time are becoming even more apparent now. I noticed that my lungs sound horrible, and have become so reactive to the elements, i get sick close to once a week. I can barely do any exercise anymore, since that make me sick too. Sadly I know how this ends, and it ends in a corpse, and the severity of the symptoms tell me that the condition is accelerating in its decline. I could get away with being healthy looking 10 years ago, but now, its become clear my body is failing on me. The problem is its getting really hard to bullshit this disease as inconsequential at this point

Sometimes, I feel like I don't have much time left. And there's nothing outwardly wrong with my health, according to recent physicals.

It's just a feeling, I can't explain it. I think I can sympathize with you on this a bit.

It's a gutting feeling. Like your own body is betraying you and all you can do is wait for the worst. This has the... silver lining, I suppose, of making me value every moment all that much more.
