You want to know more, more about the people involved, where the case is now, and what it's like behind the scenes.

Welcome to Sick Boy, a podcast where we talk about what it's like to be sick.

This week, we sit down with Brittany.

She's got a mystery disease.

Let's talk about it.

The first point when over bars in Toronto.

That is a thing.

But I've...

Yeah, I've... Really? Yeah, they keep all the young riffraff. They're like, we don't want all those young shitheads coming in here ruining our clientele's time. It's definitely not. Because everyone's so late and mature at 21. Here's a thing. I have fair facts, it's not. It might be, but anyway, carry on. Here's another thing. Who gives a fuck? Let's talk about Britney's mystery disease. Okay, yeah. So, how old are you, Brittany? Well, I totally lied to you. I'm 32, but I totally told me. Ah, you said 30 in the application. I did. Why did you do that? I have weird mortality issues about the age of 32, so I've just started lying about it. Oh, yeah? Really? What's up with that? I don't know. I think I've just like kind of been sick my whole entire life, and they've never really been able to figure out what was going on, and I always felt like 32 was like my point of no return, where like I'd be in serious trouble. Oh really? Yeah.

So.

Is there any, any basis for that?

I don't think so. It's just like me and my intuition or something. I don't think there's any basis for that. I've just sort of like felt my body progressively get worse. I was like, oh. I guess we'll get this rate. Yeah, we'll get to your illness, but I'm actually really curious about this.

So I guess, like, has a doctor ever said anything to you about... go at this rate. Yeah, we'll get to your illness, but I'm actually really curious about this.

So, I guess, like, has a doctor ever said anything to you about... Not at all. Nothing about life expectancy. Not at all. Okay. All right. Interesting. You just feel like... I have, like, throughout my life, I've had these sort of, like, weird age markers. like I felt like 27 was my really appropriate time to try and get help for things.

And when that didn't happen, I was like, oh.

Are you like, weird age markers. Like I felt like 27 was my really appropriate time to try and get help for things.

And when that didn't happen, I was like, oh. Are you like, are you into like voodoo and stuff like that?
