I'm 98% sure Stareh was not joking when you and her got into a fight. April Fools isn't about fighting with someone who isn't in on the joke - ask Arti and Fork, or Birchy and Stareh. The trouble is that the people on the internet who tend to talk about their personal lives in a way that suggests they are fishing for sympathy are generally lying, and a lot of us older users have had very awful first-hand experience of that.

If you look at those of us who have had life-threatening or debilitating illnesses - Fork, Arti, myself, and I'm sure others here who haven't said anything yet - we only talk about them when we feel the need to explain them to other people - we don't use them as a way to point out how much our lives suck and wait for everyone to say how very sorry for us they are. So that's just a guideline there.
