that it has been almost 1 month since i found this site and although i do not post often, i am here almost everyday. guess i dont post much because im so new at this that i dont feel i have much to offer most of you. i was reading in the post archives earlier and realized that i never properly introduced myself.(sorry folks) i am 35, married for 15 yrs. and have one child (son 9yrs) and please excuse the TWAANG as i am from the south. i have been suffering with CH for 1 yr. was given Pred. a month ago and it has done almost zip for me. guess since i finally got a diagnosis i was expecting a cure and doesnt look like thats gonna happen. my husband is very supportive but i see that helpless/hopeless look in his eyes to often. my son has never witnessed an attack as i tend to want to be LEFT ALONE. all he knows is mama is sick again son! i feel so bad for him. dont want him to grow up thinking mama was always too sick to play with me, but how do explain my pain to a 9 yr. old when majority of adults are clueless to what im going through??? anway please excuse my rambling and long post but this has been such a trying week. i felt so guilty for being so sick that i kept my son home from school today so tha we could spend some time together while the beast was dormant. Again thanks to all for listening and please overlook my attitude tonight.
