From undiagnosed to climbing Mt. Everest!

Sangye, I am sure that you especially would do everything and anything if you could. Such is this disease of ours that we all have different disabilities that go with it. For example I am very glad that I can travel but I am sooo limited in what I can do. This recent trip with my hubby showed me just how much. We used to go and walk on our own the port cities while cruising but now I can baarely go 2 blocks without stopping, also the pace I can do now is at least 1/10th of my usual. Needles to say my hubby goes now by himself. Life can be unfair, some of us can climb mountains like Cindy while for some of us just getting out of bed and walking about the home is a success. We are all winners and as for slackers, well maybe there are some that simply will not do anything and moan and groan at everything.

Good going Cindy, with the media coverage at least a bit of our struggle will be shown. Keep trekking.

Jolanta, you mean like this?

Aha, exactly. That's just like me this weekend, because of this darned cold I just laze about in my jammies. My son, the med student, is here for the holidays so I 'm his gunea piggie. He keeps reading up on Weg's and says that in internal medicine and pharmacology a special section is devoted to autoimmune diseases and a lot on Weg's so hopefuly the new young doc's will have the necessary info to recognize it sooner in their patients.

OK, TV crew just left the house and my story will be on the ABC News at 5 PM pacific time tonight! If you cannot view it on TV I was told it should show up on the ABC INTERNET version for Southern California.

That's great Cindy. I tried to find it on the internet, but couldn't. I am glad you got the word out about WG! Thanks!

[Cindy]

Will not be on the INTERNET until after it shows on TV - at least that is what I am told. I am new to all of this stuff

Cindy, I'm so goofy~it must be all the holiday treats I'm eating. I forgot I live eastern time SC. This disease has made my brain in to Swiss cheese. Love how I blame it on the disease.

Hey Cindy, I saw it! You look great and did great! One big Hug coming your way!
