I have contemplated getting a blog for quite some time now, but was always hesitant to just do it. Growing up as a child, I was very shy and would not open up until I felt comfortable enough with someone to do so. As I grew into adulthood, I became more confident. This made it easier to be more outgoing when meeting new people. But the one thing I always kept in silence was my disease. It was an embarrassment and not something you wanted to break the ice with. After seven years of suffering in silence, I am ready to share the reality of having a chronic illness.
