anyway

One of Debbie Harry's group Blondie has the illness too but his was controlled without the trouble I've had possibly because he was younger when he developed it .. or maybe just because .. one in ten doesn't make it through and I guess there are different degrees of illness for those who do. I'm not too good cause of the mouth and fragility. He was Debbie Harry's partner for 10 years after developing it and he married an actress after that relationship broke up.

It's a bit like cancer in some ways in that the body's gone wrong .. the immune system goes and attacks the wrong things .. same as it does with rheumatoid arthritis and other auto immune illnesses. Lupus is another illnesses which is very like it.
