Regan - you are among the 10-20% of patients with serious, debilitating conditions, while I'm among the 80-90% of patients who are able to control our condition. You're an example of the reasons why we need to raise awareness of this mysterious disease!

I hope you do live a long and happy life - without any more serious attacks!
