I appreciate all of the info so far, it has helped. My main concern is that we keep her insured.

This latest flare started mid October and was so sudden and unexpected. She is having her third block this week. So far they haven't helped that much. She is qualified as a disabled student at her university and receives help with classes. She just recently received a diabled placard from the DMV, which helps minimize walking (well, wheeling) to classes.

Her school is five hours away from home and she is determined to stay even though she is on her own. Her pain meds are pretty high right now and I don't know how she does it. She is a strong girl and I am very proud of her, but worry is my general state of mind.

This illness doesn't just affect her, it has turned the whole family's life upside down.
