Alison,
I applaud your desire to go after your dreams and not letting anything, or anyone, get in your way!!! I regret not having chased my medical field dreams when I was younger. I know it may be harder now that I have RSD (and four kids!), but as soon as my family is settled I intend to go back and finish my degree as well.

You are a bright, articulate, intelligent, and COMPASSIONATE young lady.....the medical field is in DIAR need of all of the above qualities!!! Don't let anyone or anything deter you from fulfilling your dreams. It may be harder for you to get there than the "average" person, but that is exactly what will make you so excellent once you do!!!

Best wishes to you!!! Please keep us posted!!!!
