The Stress of Dealing with vWD

[Jessica]

There have been many times, over the past 12 years, when I've thought to myself, "I'm sick of dealing with this - I wish it would just go away". Dealing with the symptoms, the medical professionals, the missed days from school/work - it can be emotionally draining. The frustration can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with uncontrollable symptoms. Sometimes just making it through the day is the best you can do.

So I'd like to open this topic up to replies. You can vent YOU CAN USE NOTHING BUT CAPS!!!!! Or you can share some of the ways you have learned to make it through the day. Believe me - it will feel good to get it off your chest.
