Not from a CP standpoint because I can't.  But I get sick and tired of people
acting like I would just have to want to be "cured" every minute of my life,
and that something is wrong with me if I don't.  Most people know what I call
that.  I think it's important to give it a name because it's so hard to see
and a necessary evil to bring out into the light.  It's just too pervasive.
Yeah, I know.  I've said it before.

Darned if I don't keep saying it though.

I went on a cure search the first year or so, and finally realized that I
could spend the rest of my life doing that.  I'm sure my neurologist will
notify me by singing telegram if something turns up.  When he confirmed that
remission was little more than an academic discussion after a certain point,
I already knew it anyway.  No scoop there.

I read every last thing I could get my hands on about this, legit and
otherwise (just so I'd know what the otherwise was).  After a couple of years
of doing that, a person learns a thing or two.  But there's always the
"expert" who never went to medical school, who never even heard of what I
have, but who is ready to tell me how to fix myself...since I am so obviously
"wrong."

Whatever.  I like who I am and with each passing year, I resent that BS more
and more.

You know, I'm reading my own stuff, and thinking that HRT might oughta be in
my near future.  There's a drug I think I can use.

I'm not signing this.  You can't see me either.
