>>34712098>Her past history of living a normal lifeCVID is not in and of itself a serious or debilitating condition and many people with CVID can and do live somewhat normally.
What DOES fuck you up is the diseases and infections that come much more easily, and do much more damage, as a result of CVID.
Which is what happened to Mouse.
Furthermore, CVID worsens with age.
Her current condition is a combination of multiple severe infections having done chronic and/or permanent damage to her lungs and other areas, worsened by both CVID and her at-the-time inability to afford proper or consistent treatment.
There is nothing contradictory about Mouse having been able to live somewhat normally when she was younger.
