Hey Mike, hang in there, bud. I know that the depression that comes along with this is one of the hardest parts of all. Every time I've ever had a major illness like this (I could write a book too!), people always wind up telling me it's all in my head, that my depression is causing the illness, or that I'm too negative, etc. They just don't understand that when you're dealing with something as chronic, debilitating and life altering as this, of course depression is going to result. How many of those people have had their lives destroyed by something that no one will ever seem to take seriously?

Please keep us updated on your progress, Mike, and remember that we're all out here rooting for you!

Take care, Bill
