I hate this disease…


by: Mataya on Thu, Nov 15 2007

I had a cough for the past few years, but the cough really seemed to get worse evertime I was pregnant. After my third son was born my cough never went away and the mucus became a lot worse. My doctor sent me to get a x-ray, which came back showing abnormalalities in my lungs.

I then was sent to get an ct-scan and have a bioscopy done, which confrimed the dioagnoses. I still giong through nurmous testing. I feel like crap all the time, depressed,angry, I get these rashes on my face, cramps in my legs, toes,and hands, sometimes headaches, and I am very moody! I am scared for my three boys and my husband.

Sometimes I feel like a burden to my family. I only been married to my husband for six years I hoped to get old with him and see my grandchildren ,but the way I feel sometimes life looks very short. I’m a 26 , African Female who has dreams and goals to live out, but with this diease I feel maybe those dreams won’t happen for me. I hope this diease get better not just for me ,but everyone!
