hi~ i know what you mean about it being tough being so

young and having these illnesses. it doesn't even

seem fair, but i always figure that it could be worse.

sometimes that's what gets me through the day,

realizing that it could be worse. i was also

diagnosed when i was 20, actually almost 20. hang it

there, it will get better. what are you taking for

meds? i am down to 2 or 3 prescriptions, but i am

taking a large amount of supplements. if you want to

chat about anything email me at

abbuttercup55@...

take care of yourself
