When I come to this forum and read here, I pray for all of you, including myself and anyone with this. It can seem so overwhelming when you first start this journey but you have to believe, have hope, and take control of your health.

I tell myself : I can be powerful or I can be pityful...but I can't be both.

I choose power.

Don't give up. Don't expect others or doctors to fix you. Keep a positive attitude, for me that is prayer and God. Believe you can make a difference. Most of all, make a daily choice to strive for better health each day. You have to work for it, it doesn't fall in your lap.

Goodluck!
