Thank you guys so much.

Healing; A lot of the people in my life have left me do to my illness. It's "hard" for them and they don't want to see it happening. I have my partner, a best friend, my family, so I'll manage. It's hard finding support groups because Still's is such a rare disease. I am the only one in the RA practice with it currently. I wish there was a support group. I don't want to go to a cancer support group because it's not cancer, and I would feel so intrusive. I will look into it though for sure.

Gayle; I am sorry you had to be on chemo meds. I am chopping my hair off and donating what I can before it starts because OCD/hair pulling/skin picking wise losing the hair is going to be a huge trigger and speaking to my doctor, with the dosage I am on, it's something that's going to happen it seems. But hey if it doesn't, I donated hair in the end. Congrats on being cancer free!!

Too SHy; I don't like bursting peoples bubbles, but a gluten free diet is a lot of rubbish unless one has celiac disease. There was just a huge scientific study explaining how it does not much good at all unless one is allergic, etc. But if it works for him, damn, that's great. I am going to try and manage a raw food diet and see if it helps. Just hard to do when you're also anorexic.
