Disease is really an ugly word, but guess what...I gots one. Maybe I should call it something else that sounds better. How about superpower? My body can attack my liver in a single bound! Nope, that won't work. Um, how about ability? Yes, I've been given the ability to take a perfectly good liver and damage it all up with just about any kind of toxin, virus, bacteria, you name it. Hmm, I guess I'll just stick with disease. So yeah, I have a disease. Autoimmune Hepatitis to be exact.

In researching Autoimmune Hepatitis I found very little to go off of from a real world perspective (i.e. not doctor speak) and what I did find was SO doom and gloom. Don't get me wrong, I've definitely had my pity-party moments but I know the only thing I can control in all this is my attitude so why not stay positive? Also, I'm a lot like Chandler Bing in that I use humor in uncomfortable situations so that's been a saving grace through some of the tears too. So, I'll share a little bit about what I'm going through as I go through it in the hopes of helping other people in the same boat, helping my family/friends understand what I'm going through, and serving as a catharsis to me.
So, there you have it. A blog about a disease...Aren't you having fun already??
