Just as I was starting to feel better from the freakin expensive medicine allergic reaction, my tonsils started to blow up again like one of those puffer fish. (geez! can’t I catch a break??!)  Back to the doctor I go.  Turns out I got ANOTHER weird bug I have never had before.  Luckily this one can be kicked by some cheep non-allergy inducing (fingers crossed) meds.  For an extra boost I agreed to do a boost of Prednisone (evil evil evil), which has given me some lovely roid rage, blood sugar numbers that go from normal to 450 in 30 minutes and a tummy monster that can not be tamed with no matter how much food I cram down.   I am afraid to say, go away bad juju, that I am starting to feel better FINALLY.

I have met a lot of amazing people through this disease. It has made me very strong and has made me want more than ever to leave a positive impact on this world.

Now that I have been diagnosed with diabetes, I still am the same person I was with CF, but now I am confused and overwhelmed. I do not understand this disease. I do now know how to deal with it physically or emotionally. Is this a blessing in disguise like CF, or is it a curse?
