Health Activist Writer's Month

I have joined the challenge to blog every day as a health activist.  You can read more about it here .  Today's challenge is to write an acrostic about my condition.  Just in case you were curious, an acrostic is a poem or other form of writing were the first letter of every line spells out a word or a message.

Find A Cure
