Re: Checking in!
Thank you so much, Jessica. I've been following your journey since last week when I did a search on WBR and found your thread. You are inspiring me and keeping me hopeful! Ten years is amazing. I've been saying since day one if I can just keep plugging along and dancing with this crap (save for a miracle) for years, then maybe I will make it to the day we see a cure. I have a 5-1/2 year old and an almost 3-year-old who need me to fight like mad for them, so dance I will! Wishing you much luck, blessings and success with the next MRI, weaning off these steroids, and all you are fighting! And thank you again for sharing your story and giving me such hope.
