		<description>I've been thinking about you this past few weeks - I am hoping that 2008 brings about a much more positive reaction to meds and/or a possible cure for whatever it is you're suffering with. 

I hope that you managed to have a pleasant, painless Christmas Elea.</description>

		<description>Oh shoot. There wasn't supposed to be a question mark after my first paragraph in my previous comment.

It sounded like I was asking you "Are you better yet?" - the dreaded question. Oh dang oh dang.

I meant that I hope you'll be feeling better soon and well on the stage to recovery. (:</description>

		<description>Having not been here in a while, I was a little shocked when I went through the most recent eight entries and realizing what had happened. Sorry for not being here. Although I do hope that you're feeling a lot better now?

Understand the frustration of not being able to find a definite cure. The issue goes likewise for my allergies.

Meanwhile, don't apologise for your moodiness. Sometimes, you can't help these things. Plus, it is not as if you don't have a reason for being moody because well, you do. Good to hear that you have friends rallying around you though. Stay strong. (:</description>

		<description>What bothers me more is when people ask such questions out of courtesy, but they really don't give two sh*ts about how you actually are. The worst was when, after pouring my soul out (ok not really, I simply expanded like I was prompted to do), they kind of took a step back and went "Woah" as if they didn't /actually/ expect to give them a real reply to their question.</description>

		<description>Annie used to be a proponent of DailyStrength.org -- they have a lot of people e-hugging each other there. Also, Ben has a friend who was also going thru a lot of painful long-term ailments from a foggy disease that's affected her for 2 years and counting. If you want a support group, she might be a good start. She's in the Berkeley/Albany area tho... 

Let me know how I can help. Keep us updated, k? Good luck with finals btw, I know everyone in school has their nose in a book these days.

		<description>Well now I don't know what to say.  I don't begrudge you your feelings either, from what I can tell you're handling it all so much better than I would.
I wish there was something more I could do for you.</description>

		<description>You should not feel bad for your moodiness. If I was in your situation I would be tearing out my hair and glaring at anyone who made the mistake of trying to talk to me. Maybe you could try to talk to a counselor at the hospital? Or is that what you've been trying? You should be able to vent and talk to someone who will listen thoroughly to every word. I remember loving that feeling, that the counselor really listened to every word...</description>
