How many of you are like my family with multiple family members battling this difficult disease. There are 5 of us. Guess I need to know we are not the only ones with this plague.

Thanks

3 of us, my husband, my son and myself. Thank God my daughter is healthy.

I feel for you...it's rough, but at least you know what you are dealing with. There are so many out there who have no clue.
