    September 11

    I remember my boyfriend came in to wake me up, saying that America was being attacked. We watched on the news, it felt absolutely surreal. At the time, I was attending university in the small town of Lethbridge, Canada, but I was so scared. I felt that if the US was being attacked, ***** was...

    low platelet count in pregnancy

    I have a low platelet count, always under 20. I was diagnosed in 2000 with ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura). I bleed and bruise a lot because of it. Some cases of ITP can arise in pregnancy, often resolving themselves after pregnancy. My ITP was not pregnancy induced, but I just...

    CF and risky behaviors (and a personal story of my sister)

    LouLou, as someone who struggles with addiction, I want to say that I don't think anyone "chooses" this fate. Now THAT would be "ridiculous". I know I didn't choose for my every thought and motivation to be controlled by alcohol. And as "ridiculous" as you might describe someone's behavior on...

    hospital stays

    I think people (family and friends) get used to the fact that we are so independent, and we're so used to the routine of it all. I've been in that situation you describe, and I have felt so alone and sad, not because I was alone, but because it's not new, and it's not going to stop...this is my...

That was back when I could convince people that I had asthma, when I was in a much better physical state, when I had endurance and stamina most of the time, and arthritis only some of the time, when...
