I don't talk to anyone about the disease because they won't be able to understand and when I first got diagnosised people who knew about the disease would come and tell me how sorry they were that it wasn't curable and would treat me as I was dying, so I gave up explaining it and just rather keep to myself. I have not prepared my family for the physical changes (saddle nose and hearing aids) so I am guessing it will be a big shock to them and my nose is a major self issue. I have not directly looked in the mirror over six months because I am that scared of what it has done to me and I know that it is fixable but to face my family and to explain to them what this disease has done to me and not become emotional is almost impossible. I know that my family will always love me but I am not sure what I am going to do yet. I will keep you all updated and agian thank you for your wisdom.
