https://www.celiac.com/blogs/blog/1255-everlasting-hope/enhttps://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2310-everlasting-hope/My chronic states of malnutrition and starvation have taken quite a toll on my body. I suffer from chronic pancreatitis, a heart condition that leaves me with dangerously LOW blood pressure and a likeliness of fainting, my adrenal glands are insufficient, my liver damaged and my thyroid underactive. Through it all I have had several extended hospitalizations, depression and hope. So many doctors and non-traditionals have made me promises. However, it is the promise one makes to oneself that is most important. Mine, "Don't lose Hope!" Even during the worst of days when I would not be able to get out of bed and wanted it all to just end, I truly never lost hope! I am here to tell you that it is soooo important you hold on. Because, one day when you're not even looking and hardly paying attention, something will come to you and change your life.]]>2310Mon, 19 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0000https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2311-it039s-not-just-gluten/2311Mon, 19 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0000
