I was born with a rare endochronological disorder called Klinefelter's Syndrome. I also appear to be a perfectly healthy and from all outward appearances fine, but in truth KS effects every aspect of my life. Example: where a normal person can get dressed and brush their teeth easily with me this takes about an hour or more since I have to stop occasionally and rest. Along with the fatigue comes loss of concentration and sporadic memory. My heart goes out to Carly and I hope she is doing well. One thing I have learned being handicapped is that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. With those of us like Carly and myself that just happens to be a daily event. My hats off to Carly.

Both of the things she needs to most! You are a true friend and I appreciate that immensely. Thanks also for getting the word out about Crohn's Disease. Hopefully one day people will know as much about that as they do cancer. And maybe one day there will also be a cure. Love, Mary Jo (better known as Carly's Mom, my prefered name!) Samantha:
