In the beginning of our interview, I asked A.J. how she would describe her physical health at her current age and how it affects her daily life. In response, she rated her overall health as mediocre because she has issues with diabetes, arthritis, and sarcoidosis; an inflammatory disease that affects the respiratory system. In the case of her diabetes, she explained that she has to check her blood sugar daily to make sure it is not too low or too high.
