Good and bad has happened since I was diagnosed at 21 in 2009.

How bout we start with the bad... and end with the good

BAD- I had to quit my job as a server in a fine dining restaurant where I would work 4-6 hours and walk out with $200 CASH.
- I can't work 40 hours anymore, shoot I can't even work 20.
- I had to become left handed (somewhat a good thing because NOW I am ambidextrous )
- I developed acne
- I went from a size 7 to a size 11 pretty much over night.
- I drop, I fall, I get angry
- I can't pay my way through life anymore and that bothers me.

GOOD- I am not pessimistic anymore, and let me tell you I was Miss Negative Nancy MY WHOLE LIFE.
- My patience has improved (kinda have no choice but to just wait stuff out nowadays)
- I am my own advocate when it comes to my health (still getting better at that, lol)
- I know when to stop
- I listen very closely to my body at all times.
- I only work two days a week which is bad but if my body says it's ok I pick up whatever shifts I can. (doesn't happen to often)
- I try things out and keep what's working and toss out what is not (coughmyDMDcough)
- I try not to stress.
- I don't drink alcohol anymore, haven't since '09.
-I WILL be changing my diet to all healthy, it's just taking time and adjusting.
-I found you guys!!!!
