Sam,

Back to the patience thing. I am 16 months out now and things are finally changing.

1 month ago I did not think that I would ever change, that I was doomed to be a helpless child. Sleep is returning and many other symptoms are easing. My head isn't done with me yet but I am becoming less scared and more hopeful finally. I even got up on water skis this weekend for a couple of minutes...I was sure that would never happen a month ago.

I know patience is hard but it is your best ally now...in life really. You are learning hard lessons for a young age but by no means is success out of your reach.
