We are a strong network of very intelligent and heart-thinking individuals. I know that (for me) this is a debilitating disease. It can wreck relationships, families and even our own sense of self. It can destroy us if we are weak; and if we are strong...I, for one, will not let this destroy what I have worked so very hard for. Family. My children do not understand; my husband (married him in May) tries to understand. I do not understand; but, I believe that communication and honesty will help everyone understand. I want to understand you; and in return, hope you will understand me...we are all in this together. I see us together as a strong unit. One better to fight the enemy then try to fight alone. I am with you all and will support you through your trials and tribulations; and know in my soul you will be there for me also. So, thanks for everyone's support...rest easy, friends. As we are all one.
