I'm open because I have to be. I have two major health disorders that like to compound on each other. Even though I'm 26, sometimes I have to walk with a cane. If I do not have my cane and I don't mention it I probably won't look disabled to anyone.
One of them is epilepsy and I can literally forget people I met only a couple days before. I literally have to meet people multiple times to remember them. I feel *really* bad about this! So I just tell people, "If I seem like I don't remember you, just remind me we have met before."
Why are we so open with medical problems?
