not.dead.yet.
I hate to interrupt your thread, but there is no option of sending a message or PM to you.
I am fighting a similar illness, either Chrohn's or ulcerative colitis, and have therefore been stuck in my apt. not wanting to go out (in case that need to go pops up).
Just wanted you to know that you aren't alone, even though you feel that you are. It IS horrible, but we are still human beings and are worthy of
some respect in this world. Right??
