[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 160860, member: 3444"] I don't know what I could say that hasn't already been perfectly said by Dreamer. Chronic diseases are life changing. I have one difficult child with Crohn's. It was very hard for him to cope with at first -- feeling crummy all the time, all the pills, all the tests, procedures, food restrictions, coming very close to surgery... Went through some temporary Cushing syndrome from prednisone treatment for the first six months of his diagnosis (moon face, mood swings, depression, thinning skin, bloating, acne, sweating). Had to make major adjustments for diet, medications and their side-effects, etc. Life suddenly became very medically oriented for him. That's really hard when you're in the 5th grade. Forgive me for not remembering your particular circumstances -- I hope it's something that can go into remission like my son's disease has been able to do for now. It took two years for him to get here, thanks to a doctor who is at the top of her field and got him on the right medications. I'll send up prayers for healing for you, and for peace and serenity for your spirit. [/QUOTE]
