I know about it because I pay attention to what Jennifer Jaff of Advocacy for Patients with Chronic Illness says. And I look at other news sources and listen to what other people have to say. But I don&#8217;t consider [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, when I was making the 45 minute drive back to my friend&#8217;s house, my eyes kinda gave up on me. The road got blurry, then there were two of them and the oncoming headlights were exploding in my eyes&#8230;and it was definitely time to stop and take a break.
