It effects more people than they realize. No one really knows exactly what's going on with our family. I teach at the same high school my YD attends. Today, my best friend and other teacher in our room, wanted to talk to me about something one of our VP asked her. I have lost some weight from all of this mess. The VP asked my friend if I have cancer.....this is not the first person that has questioned my appearance. I went to Dr a month ago and have another appt tomorrow. This Dr knows what's going on. He ran a bunch of blood tests. Only thing off was my immunity. Very minor. Probably the same count as it would be if I had a cold. Nothing he was concerned about. The weight loss is the issue. He wants me to drink an Ensure everyday and eat anything, whatever i can/want. i have NEVER been told to eat more. I'm not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow. I think I've lost 4 pounds.
