I need help with an idea I’m playing with for my current WIP. Specifically, medical information/details. A lot is still up in the air at this point, so I may not even get to utilize this idea. But I want to get this problem figured out if I ever get the chance to. I want to give my MC a disease that’s severe and debilitating but ultimately something he could recover from and return to working. I was considering giving him cancer, but cancer had such a high fatality rate at the time and treatments were so primitive, I wouldn’t want a potential medical inaccuracy.
Some context: My protagonist (with the exception of a leg injury he suffered in the war) is a healthy young man in his early thirties.
I’d appreciate any advice or insight anyone may have on this.
