American here living abroad in Croatia, which does not have a tax or social security agreement with the US.

The only reason why I do not renounce my American citizenship is because the very rare disease that I have was discovered on NIH grant funds in the 2000s and ultimately saved my life.

I am not sentimental about being American, except for that.

What disease if you don't mind me asking?

Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy: https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/11917/autoimmune-...

It's immune-mediated autonomic neuropathy and causes autonomic nervous system failure. I am in pharmaceutical remission now.
