Two of my college roommates and a friends wife have celiac disease. <br />I am so sorry that it is still so unknown. I often struggle with unknown reasons to pain I often have but as a mother of 5 and not a lot of extra money to pay for extra dr visits I have not gone to get my symptoms checked. Nothing has been so bad that I have been bed ridden. Just things that seem like they should not be happening but the pain is not constant or always severe so I just deal with it and keep going. I truly hope that awareness for celiac disease will be more common so people that have it will be able to eat at restaurants and not worry about becoming sick from a night out. I have not been able to read your most recent books so I am not sure if you have used celiac disease in any of them, if you have not used it maybe that would be a great way to get the information out there at least to your readers. You are an inspiration to me. I have yet to personally meet you but your books have made you have a special place in my heart. You are loved. I live in Alpine now so maybe someday we will meet. I will pray for you and answers to help your pain. <br /><br />Crystal EvansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987733792320855434.post-79306190847016833452016-03-11T19:38:07.991-07:002016-03-11T19:38:07.991-07:00Anita, I hear you.

I have often had similar thoughts when trying to deal with this and indeed compared this to cancer as well (I felt a bit petty for doing so, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has thought that way). I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

I look forward to each and every one. At a time when my health has me feeling out of control, your blog posts relate to me and make me feel less alone in this struggle. There are times I wish I could express more to you, or possibly ask you questions (NOT give advice- I promise). As a nurse I feel I should have all the answers, or at least know which medical professionals would, but I find myself frustrated and too overwhelmed to chance reaching out again. At times when the "fog" is really bad and I can't focus on much, I find myself reading certain novels of yours for the umpteenth time because one character or another seems to be going through similar struggles. The way you write those struggles, and how they deal with them, resonates with me and inspires me. Thank you again. As always, you remain in my thoughts and prayers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15273951499692973484noreply@blogger.com
