I have Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, a condition that severely affects/impacts my musculoskeletal system. All of the damage was done in utero. As a result, I have literal structural deformities, including missing muscle groups (example: I didn't have much in the way of biceps, so the doctors transferred my pectorals to my arms... I have bitchin' parallel scars down my chest like railroad tracks), joint contractures, bone deformities, etc. It's considered a form of Muscular Dystrophy. I've had 43 surgeries, most when I was very young, to give me the mobility I enjoy today.
So, due to my disability, I've heard a bunch of dumb shit, like:
It could be cured by seeing a chiropractor (a guy I used to play an online game with)
It could be cured by changing my diet (a dental hygienist I used to see)
It could be cured by prayer (multiple people)
Of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg, but you get the idea.
