Thanks for all your advice and kind words. I wasn't sure how to reply, still not quite sure... I ended up turning down the gala this year, I just told them the truth - I am going through treatment for an autoimmune disease and I just am not feeling up to it. Not only would I have to deal with the stares from people I haven't seen since last year, but I just don't feel like plastering on a smile and doing it to be honest.. lol.. Call me the grinch, but I just can't deal with it this time around.
I am in a bit of a rut. I am over the weight thing sorta because once again I am feeling lousy. Really puts things in to perspective, when I feel good I start fussing about weight and appearance and how this disease has made me ugly. However the past week has been terrible. My doc had me TMPT (or tpmt.. I dont know.. something like that) to see if I could take Imuran and I can. So he put me on that.. AND YAK.. Hair is falling out, monster migraines... Like I'm talking about massive migraines that make me gag when I move they are so bad. Hopefully this goes away....
