It's rough when it feels like the world is against you, medically anyway. It sounds like your boat isn't any better than mine but I'm glad to hear that things look good and your treatment is over. That is definitely awesome news.

Having celiac really isn't so bad, and I don't mind. Honestly. But traveling away from home can be tricky. Where I live in Utah county and near Salt Lake City is a mecca for those of us that have to be gluten free. The thought of traveling to somewhere that isn't is just super scary. I have no desire to live off of prepackaged, ready to eat food for two weeks. It wouldn't be healthy, I'd feel like hell, but the risk involved in eating out at new places while undergoing a treatment would just be too much. I suffer sever neurological side effects if I get "poisoned" that last for weeks, which is why I choose to seek treatment close to home.
