I'm so pleased that OBAMACARE covers all these illnesses now. Perhaps more people will be willing to speak up and speak out and enhance understanding, rather than insinuate that there's something "wrong" with discussing these matters.

Rosalynn Carter and Michelle Obama have also done a great job in encouraging people to speak out about these matters. Pretty soon, it will only be people with a very backward attitude who persist in telling people to not talk about these illnesses and how they impact people, and what those with these conditions can do to mitigate the impact. And perhaps, one day, if not a cure, there will be better medications to control symptoms without the many side-effects, some of which are difficult to endure.
