I'm very glad you've been able to overcome your illness and that you're on a better path now, I know it is not easy.

For me, it took me 5 months of constant pain, lots of tests, and stuff I don't want to get into. But long story short, it doesn't affect my mental capabilities (asked medical professionals about this several times). Obviously, it has had side effects on anxiety and other stuff which may collaterally have effects on my general intelligence.

I wish no ill on others, so I don't hope they crash and burn.

I will try getting onto that aforementioned path, thank you.

I also wish you the best.
