How do I cope with the way I look? I am struggling with swelling in my face that makes me look freaky and disfigured. I am embarrassed to go out sometimes. Sometimes I don't care, but sometimes I don't even want my family to see me. I know I don't feel this way about other people, eg., don't care what they look like. I would appreciate any advice or if there is a smaller group dealing this issue.
Thanks,
Judy
