I would have made an A+ excellent boy. My name would have been a little wacky and maybe that’s why I was born a girl (seriously, “Andrew” and ME just don’t jive). But I think about the people w/whom I have been friends, who my friends are, who the best friends I could have WOULD BE IF THEY WOULD PAY ATTENTION … and they are all pretty much like variations of a male me. I mean, complete variations in like every arena, from sexual preference to career, &c., but it is an interesting thing on which to “reflect.”
I will be back later, I promise 😉
❤ Always, Beth (the girl. the very straight girl, God help me.)

I have been living with chronic illness since I was 2 months old. My first "formal" chronic illness diagnosis was Behçet's Disease - I was 17 at the time. I was later diagnosed with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (I more or less led the doctors to that diagnosis - that story is for another time!) and those have been my "primary" two illnesses. I have many other "secondary" diagnoses such as seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chiari 1 Malformation (a result, I believe, of the Behçet's causing aseptic meningitis time and again since it had never appeared in brain scans before I was about 24-25), osteoporosis, compression fractures of the thoracic spine, and many others. I know what it is like to feel as if you have lost years of your life that you can never recover from illness and the many restrictions it places upon you in your everyday life. I just want you to know that I know what it is like and I have been there through every period of my life - you are NOT ALONE! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you ever need someone to talk with or someone just to listen to you - I am always here! Thank you for taking the time to read this and my other posts and I hope you are having a happy and healthy day no matter where you are in the world! Take care.
