It will be better managed at times, but it will get worse with age, as my illnesses tend to. My doctors are still not sure what everything is. I pray that you are able to manage your illness well and that it does not suck so much out of you. <br /><br />I comprehend how it feels when friends and family abandon you in your time of need. It made me feel useless that my family was so caught in petty drama to even be there while I am this sick. However, I am assuming that you learned whom to trust and whom it is better to cut ties off with. <br /><br />I have found that giving my illness a name and a face and not hiding behind it helps. I let people know what I have, if they will listen. Maybe it could help someone? I have found that I am not the only one whom can't eat food (and hasn't for nearly nine months) due to physical illness. When I explain it and find joy that some answers are known about it, it makes it feel like it is something I can conquer. It gives me a starting point to research the issues and find effective and alternative plans to what originally could be known.<br /><br />I pray that you are able to find comfort in your times of trials. It is a long journey but so worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627840469528311211.post-29261920776852255682012-06-28T09:56:17.949-04:002012-06-28T09:56:17.949-04:00Hey sister, thank you so much for sharing this pos...Hey sister, thank you so much for sharing this post about what you are going through. It is so hard when you are going through it, but God will transform something beautiful out of it. There have been really really horrible things that have happened in my life, when I was struggling through them, I just wanted to give up (and I admit that at times, I did). But God, in His infinite love and grace, transformed those times into something beautiful. Hence the name of my blog, beauty for ashes. He gave me something beautiful for something that was dead. <br /><br />Hang in there girl, know you are loved and supported!Tales of Beauty For Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13638747352321412269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627840469528311211.post-79241679690247616402012-06-26T14:20:26.227-04:002012-06-26T14:20:26.227-04:00It's good to see you post again Susan!
