Furries gave me terrific medical advice

I’m living alone for the first time and a couple of months ago I got really sick. I didn’t know what to do because my symptoms were super strange. I can’t remember the exact symptoms but it was something along the lines of full body aches, pounding headache, nausea, sweats, and some other stuff. I didn’t have a fever, I hadn’t been exposed to anything as far as I know.

So of course, I googled all my symptoms and then tagged “Reddit” at the end (I’d already tried looking up symptoms/treatments before and all I got was rest and drink water so this was a last resort.) I see the first few lines of a Reddit post describing my exact situation, and it had like 50+ comments. So I click on it… and open up graphic furry porn!

The author of the post is at home sick and is drawing to get their mind off of being so sick. Fair enough, I guess. I read the text part of the post, sure enough everything, even stuff I didn’t mention in my search is there. I read through the comments and get some really great and specific advice for treating this and also just feeling better. I tried some of it and felt better really quickly.

I cannot tell anyone in my life about this, furry might as well be a slur. But I am immensely grateful to you guys.
