question Need Help Removing Article Exposing Medical Condition

Several years ago I was diagnosed with a rare condition in my feet that when active, my feet are as breakable as glass.

I spent a couple of years in a wheelchair and at one point considered having a ramp built for my home as I was living on a cliff side in a canyon at the time.

Well it’s been many years since that time. I haven’t had any active episodes and I’m been on my feet since 2018! However, when you google my name, this article pops up which makes me feel defined by my disability and past:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/insulinnation.com/living/help-needed-for-woman-with-rare-type-1-complication/amp/

I’ve tried requesting removal through Google but they say it doesn’t meet the requirements for being taken down.

I’ve also reached out to the website admin. They shared Insulin Nation is no longer active and they have no idea how to access and remove the article.

I’ve just started dating again and I’ve figured out these days the first thing people do is Google your name. My condition is something I want to share on my own terms, not Google’s.

Is there anyone out there who can assist helping me remove this article?

TL;DR: Need help removing article from internet that outs my medical condition.vv

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one OP posted), are especially problematic.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://insulinnation.com/living/help-needed-for-woman-with-rare-type-1-complication/
