Hi Everyone,

I have not been sleeping very well again and I woke up today with
those horrible feelings again. Sometimes my mind runs wild with
awful thoughts. I got GD when I was 24, in 6 months I will be
entering my 30’s. Scares me to death! All my friends have started
families. Sometimes I feel like I have missed the most precious
years of my life. A few months ago I couldn’t hold the tears back
when I told my optho that I just wanted to get on with a normal life.
He answered me by saying ” These things take time.” well how much
time! I want a normal life, a life where I’m not feeling sick every
other day. I now want to start a family but am advised by my doctors
to wait. Am I sounding selfish? I don’t think so. Thanks for listening
and I hope you understand my point. Who knows maybe tomorrow will
be better.

All the best,
Shannon.

Shannon, I would be lieing if I said I know exactly how you feel!
But I can relate to the desire of wanting to be normal again and I haven’t
had GD for quite a year yet so I can just image your thoughts. What
I can do is put in a word of prayer for you! So hang in there….
