Mrs. Burschman Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Thanks for the link! It's a good article.Incidently, there was just an article a few months ago in Ladies' Home Journal about how his wife copes with panic disorder. Sounds like they make a good team!Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eliza Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Thank you for sharing the article. You are right, there are many similarities and obsticles we have to deal with. I really wish society was as understanding and informed about POTS as they are with MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
april abbott Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thank you for the article. Honestly, I needed to read that today. I just started a rigorous program in college, and have many fears about my instructors finding out about my illness and kicking me out of the competetive program. I have chosen to keep my illness to myself, and so far it has been the right decision. Only 30 students get into the dental hygiene program every year, and I worked hard to get there. I have been having doubts as to whether or not I can simply handle the workload and stress. It really helped to read his experiences, because many of his fears and challenges are the same.It is so frustrating because it is true that society just isn't willing to except illness or imperfection.
