I am a terribly private person, who is not very good at expressing myself, so social media is not something I normally embrace. This page has been a lifeline during the darkest times in my life. When the doctors don’t listen, don’t know, or don’t care, this page has been an incredible source of information. When friends and family can’t possibly understand, this group of people has been an inspiring source of support. At the very least it is a blessing not to feel so alone.
A lifeline in my darkest days
