I'm glad he has finally fessed up, and has given you the confirmation you deserve. I know it's not nice (even shocking) to hear at first, but at least you know for sure what MonSter you are reckoning with . . .

So I guess this means a discussion is in order to get you on a DMD to help manage your number of attacks better? You've had SO many steroid treatments, which probably isn't the best plan of attack. Steroids can be good after the fact, but it would be nice to avoid as many attacks as possible by using a more preventative therapy.

I know you've been dealing with all of this for a long time, YB, but getting confirmation always brings a flurry of emotions to the surface. Hope you get in to see him soon to go over your options and move onto a new phase.
