Thank you for sharing your struggle and the solutions you come up with to overcome the struggles. It sounds like you're becoming more intimate with your body and the disease. As someone who also has an autoimmune disease (challenged for the past 30 years) you become much better at hearing your body whisper what it needs and then you can respond. Keeping your friends and family in the loop by educating them will make the difficult times more understandable. For those who do not deal with medications, side effects and doctor visits it can be hard for them to have empathy and we certainly don't need sympathy. Your pilgrimage to wellness will be a lifelong journey and I'm grateful to bear witness to your process. I think you exhibit tremendous courage.
