Bezre pursed their lips for a moment together in thought, “I will need frequent skin checks. As you can tell I’m more ‘spotted’ than a normal Trill and about 2% of these spots develop cancer each year.” They motioned with their hand, “Which is rather significant when you consider just how many spots I have. I also have a very sensitive digestion system. I cannot eat anything with dairy, gluten, amines, sulfites or artificial coloring. If I eat any of those then I get bloated with cramping and constipation. Not fun at all. Oh and my menstrual cycle is very irregular but it doesn’t bother me so much though I have been told that it would be exceptionally difficult for me to get pregnant. Infertility often goes along with Grelen’s Disease though the two are not directly linked. There’s still on-going research regarding that. Some of my doctors on Trill suggested that the Symbiont would improve my chances but who knows.” Bezre shrugged. Though being a parent was a wonderful experience they knew that joy through the previous hosts and knew that there would be more chances in the future.

Ben was nodding along supportively as Bezre spoke, allowing them to speak rather than interrupt them. He tapped out some notes on the PADD as she spoke, pulling together a plan to manage Bezre’s condition.

“Well, I can prescribe some antihistamines that will ease the eczema, which should get you over the next few weeks as you settle to the new environment.” Ben said, making a few more notes. “We should also get you booked in for routine screenings for your spots; probably about once every three months,” he stated. “Of course, any symptoms such as irritation or itchiness, come in for a quick check.” he said with a smile.

“Other than that, it sounds like you have everything else under control.” he commented with a smile. “If only everyone else was as efficient with their medical needs.”

“Antihistamines would do quite well. I have my own topical ointments for milder cases after this initial bout of eczema.” A shot would go a long way in helping them adjust. Bezre smiled, “I assure you, you’ll be the first to know. I’m not one of those patients that put off seeing a doctor or receiving treatment.” A screening every three months would be simple to add to their schedule, “Not everyone had to manage a complex disease all their life,” They said, a touch of sadness crossing into their otherwise calm and confident countenance.

Ben nodded as Bezre spoke, whilst also motioning to one of the nurses to prepare a hypospray. He felt sympathetic for Bezre, knowing the amount of effort his sister had to put into managing her condition. As the nurse handed him the hypospray, he motioned to Bezre before administering the antihistamine.

“Yes, sometimes you do wonder why life has dealt you that hand.” he said, slightly circumspect. “Anyway, that should last a few days, allowing you to settle in. Do let me know if you feel the need for another dose then, but hopefully that should work.”

They grimaced as the hypo pressed against their neck. Thousands of injections and they never got any easier, “An unlucky draw of genetics, nothing more nothing else,” Bezre said. Perhaps if their biological parents had fallen in love with someone else their offspring would have been spared such a fate. They could have performed a genetic compatibility test prior to contraception and the results would have revealed the future in advance. “Thank you, doctor. I shall get out of your hair as I’m sure you have plenty of work to complete. We’ll be seeing each other plenty without me overstaying my welcome.”
