Ironically, we stopped the IVSM because it made me sick and didn't do anything for the flares. Well, it did do something, the last two times it made the symptoms worse.

I know how your friend feels. I told my mom last night I felt lik an 80 yr old woman with a 29 year old shell. Her response "But you look so good!" did start a laughing fit.

And I learned my lesson. Last week i was overwhelmed and frustrated... this week life decided to remind me that it could always be worse.
