I wish your friend all the luck in the world. I
have been suffering along with my wife for five years
now. I think we hit the low point last year. She tried
all kinds of things, little if anything ever
helped.<br><br>She has a few things which helped control the skin
problems and has now started on a new and somewhat
controversial treatment. I am glad to report that she is
definately improving. Over the course of the last year her
energy, skin and weight have improved quite a bit. She is
no longer bed-bound and sleeping all the time as she
was last year. She has gained 14 pounds (which help
with everything including self-esteem).<br><br>She
still has a ways to go before she can do normal things
like drive a car again, but I think that we are months
away from things like that, whereas before I never
thought to see her out of the bed not crying. Now she is
a bundle of energy painting and drawing up a storm.
Sometimes when I come home at night she is too busy to say
hi. I love it!<br><br>Hooray for her spirit and I
hope that I can help anyone else with what has helped
Jacqueline.<br><br>If anyone would like to know about the things she
has tried and what has worked, please do not hesitate
to contact me:<br><br>WoolieGeek@...
