yeah keeping your head up is the main thing. I've had this cold and have been feeling real shitty the last couple of days and that dread and feeling alone and all that has been hitting me. Trying so hard not to go out and just get f*cked up over it....starting to isolate from people again not a good thing. I jus get tired sometimes but this is just me talking here about my own personal stuff.

I'm telling myself please don't mess everything up this time i've been doing so good at work and with my kids lately I hope I don't go down that road.

Just keep your head up people do care....there are girls who will still love you even with the illness. Don't know if that one is or not but some out there will be cool with it.

Good luck

My husband is wonderful and I was very embarrassed to let him know about my outbreaks because at the time I met him I wasn't diagnosed with anything. I was diagnosed after 20 years of symptoms on 11/8/11. My husband has done the band-aid changes, application of ointments, running for epsom salts for baths, bandages, squeezing of pus, you name it I have a wonderful man who accepts me for who I am and what I was dealt and is supporting. I hope that you find the courage to talk with you significant other and that they are accepting and helpful. Best of luck to you...
