Wow. It IS a sad thread.
I miss:
--dating and the idea I could get married and have a family (5 years of suffering, I'm now 35 and still chronically ill)
--not having to worry about digestive failure ruling my life
--being able to eat without fear
--feeling clear headed and able to think
--having energy to go out at night with friends
--buying a house (too scared I might end up on disability and lose it)
--feeling like everyone else...not different...or set apart
--feeling healthy and stable
Those are my confessions. I'm starting a positive thread now..."Things you have gained from AS."
