it's my birthday today too!

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I just wanted to send you a big hug.

Today's my birthday too, for the last couple of years since a big crash

my tactic has been ignoring it, but yes, I do that because my pain

would otherwise be completely disabling. I've been ill since childhood

and over 30 years.

I just wanted to give you a little bit of hope, and say that at 23, you

are less than a third of the way through your life. There are so may

years ahead of you, to enjoy the sort of life you'd like to lead.

You're actively working to find ways to help yourself, even with my

prolonged illness I sincerely believe that I have the potential to

unlock good health, it's just finding that special key. And living

with a condition like this has taught me so much, (and not just how

much I want to be vigourously healthy :-), surely that has to be an

asset for my future healthier life - and you too?

I'm sending you lots of good thoughts,
