Awww I love you, and I knew all this already but YES it is good to get it al off your chest. Thats why I started my little blog thing. It helps, and I also love the idea of writing it down and taking a picture of it.

TONS OF HUGS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

<3

Ah, we have something in common.
I've had a nasty hive condition since my late teens.
...... and all the tests.

I feel your pain.

Whoa, I thought you were a bundle of boobs and hair, when I now see you're also a bundle of rare diseases, some of which I need to read up on, as I'm blessedly unaware of them. Hard to fathom a life filled with so many tests and stuff...it's probably a healthy perspective to take a metaview of yourself as some bizarre science experiment. Do you find writing about it therapeutic? As a psychologist (albeit not a clinical one) I believe in writing therapy.

I know I complain more than Larry David at the best of times, but I feel your frustration, all those test and you're thinking this is all good and well but where are the RESULTS and progress.
I suppose your mom is sorta right, at least you have got lots of monitoring and the doctors are looking out for (and I hate this cause it makes me sound like a parent) your best interests.

Anyway here's a *cuddle* I don't think I have it in me to grant you more than one. <3

there may be a lot wrong with you but there's also a lot right with you.

I would give you cuddles

Sending you tons of love from across the pond. Keep your chin up, kiddo. You're a champion.

Also, I really like your handwriting.

All the diseases are just karma trying to balance out the rest of the awesome

I can relate, to a lesser degree: I have psoriasis myself. Ever since it manifested, I've viewed it as my immune system being a bit too much of a perfectionist...

But your situation is orders of magnitude worse than my one little thing. *hugs* You're exactly right, though: everything you decide to do, you can.

<3

You can have all my cuddles, strawberry. <3

Hey, thanks for the advice. I used to be a member on here around 05/06 but only just rejoined about 3 days ago. Liking being back, and I thank you for talking with me!

I definitely think you should do your own music write up, I'd definitely read it.
Waterloo Sunset is a beautiful tune, made all the more personal to me that where I'm from in South London is about 2 mins walk away from Waterloo.

Hahaha South London till I die!

I'm from Kennington, which is on the Northern Line. Joins onto Elephant & Castle. Whereabouts did you live in North London? Finchley I bet?

Elephant & Castle shopping centre is a shocker huh? haha

Archway? ahhh cool!
I used to do a fair bit of boozing around Camden etc back in the day.

Damn, I miss home!
