Erin, I'm so sorry you are going through so much. I hope they can get you off of the Pred (are you still on it?).
Depression is a tough thing to deal with. I hope you are seeing someone to talk about it. I think depression can be harder to cope with than diseases sometimes.
That groin scoping does not sound very fun or comfortable.
I hope you will continue to do better. Not that you can compare situations but I think you have far more going on than I do, so I won't even bother you with how I'm doing. Hanging in there, that's about it.
You take care of yourself. We're here to support YOU too, you know. You don't have to be so strong all the time for the rest of the world.
Annie
