Leave for a bit and look what happens...

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. That really blows man. Do you have diabetes? I thought that was genetic or something.

That's Type II, the fixable kind.

Oh, damn.

It may be the optimist in me but I very much doubt it is going to be a life sentence for the kid. I'm convinced that my own illness (also autoimmune and chronic) will be neutered within at most 10 years. We'll just have to cope until then - and it gets surprisingly easy.

Jeremy has said the same thing, and I hope that you're both right. It would be a godsend for the cure to come that quickly.

This is really Jaron, right?

[derspiess]

Welcome back, Meri.  Hope things turn out okay

Good to have you back Meri.

I didn't know they'd clearly pinned down the cause of Type I at this point. That's actually a very good thing, finding the root cause is the first step to a cure. All the best to you and the kids.

WB Meri. glad to hear things are getting better. great to see you on "board" again.

Still conjecture, but that's the theory the doctors around here subscribe to due to the cluster of new incidences that seem to happen. From what I've read recently, the best chance at a cure for the moment is regrowing a pancreas with stem cells. Thank god Bush isn't in office anymore to put a stop to that.

Thanks for the welcome back, guys. Believe it or not, I've actually missed you. 

[Ed Anger]

Believe it or not, I've actually missed you. 

Clearly a sign of insanity.
