Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 46 | Many thanks for all the responses, especially ChristineB - it helps me put things in perspective. Apart from the pain,discomfort,deep anxiety etc that this condition brings I do feel cheated that I won't see and help my 4 year-old daughter grow up or enjoy another 30 years with my wife, when the true cause of my disease cannot be determined.
