A Year Ago Today- March 14

Looking back on the last year I realize that I was actually getting sick long before we realized it.  First I was home sick from what we thought was severe allergies, then I had a bad reaction to the allergy medicine the doctor prescribed to me.  My experience with Singulair just wasn't a good one.

The question I keep coming back to is:  Did I get sick due to something I did?  Did the Singulair cause what they thought was shingles?  Did I bring on the disease with the tons and tons of medication I was taking?

I know... all really stupid thinking that leads nowhere.  I guess I'm still just searching for answers, though.  Maybe if we knew what caused all this we could find a solution to getting me the rest of the way to well.

I don't blame you, I think everyone would want to know what caused their illness. I pray that you get answers, and more than that, that you receive total recovery.

Karen, I think it's human nature to want to find out what caused an illness when there are no clear cut answers. It's scary and you have to live with it. But you are a shining example of trying to go on with your life and seeing the positive in each day.

Thank you Susi. I honestly don't feel like a wonderful example, but I will acknowledge that I keep pushing on. I don't really have a choice, though, so that's why I don't feel like a great example. Comments like yours, though, really do make me feel proud of all I have done this past year.
