    MB, even though I've read it before, I LOVE re-reading your story and I truly feel blessed to have you as a friend. You are indeed an inspiration and proof that anything is possible with grit and determination. Your story also shows the true power of exercise to transform a person inside and out.The fact that your disease is better and more manageable as a result of regular exercise is a powerful message to anyone living with chronic pain. Sitting in a recliner rarely makes things better.

    I am so very proud of you! Thanks for taking the time to share your story with the larger MFP community!

    I read the entire thing, through searing tears of joy for you. You are truly a huge inspiration to anyone who's overcome amazing obstacles. I especially empathize on the steroid issue.... I have taken craptons of various steroids for my asthma, and am on them daily. And yet, I fight back, and have even started jogging for the first time ever. Even though I am not good at it, I still go - because I CAN!

    I wish you the very very best, love. You are living proof that all things are possible!

    Your story should be read by everyone.
    You are an amazing young woman! Inspirational, motivational, strong, courageous, brave and admirable.
    I wish you success! We all have some adversity in our lives, but to have to go through what you have had to and still be so upbeat is something rare! Congratulations, you are a true roll model!

    I too read every word! You are an amazing woman. Thank you for putting your story out there. Keep up the great work! What a wonderful hubby it sounds like you have. I have one myself and it's such a great thing to have someone in your life that loves you no matter what and is willing to kick your butt when necessary. Continue your journey. You, I'm sure will go amazing places!

    Seriously?! You guys are making ME cry!!! I never thought that I was any kind of "inspiration"...and it's still a little weird to think of it that way...it's just been my life, you know? I can't thank you all enough for all the love, support and encouragement you've given me! I am in AWE of the kindness you all have shown me, and it just makes tears come to my eyes. I know I don't know any of you, but I love you all just the same.

    Thank you...from the bottom of my heart. :heart:
