Good job on the report of important thoughts for health. The problem is not all illness's have cures. Doctor's don't have all the answers and often offer treatment that is not really good for the patient. Just a thought. I struggle with nasal polyps and allergies. Doctors can prescribe medicine and take them out, but they have not successfully cured my condition. A disease does affect every aspect of your life. When I was a teenager I did not value my health the way that I should have. The best advice I could offer is cherish your health and thank god that you do not have to deal with a illness longer then a week. Be thankful for your health, do not run from real feelings and fears with drugs because eventually you will hurt yourself in the long run and eventually you will face those feelings. Problems never go away. Learn to deal with them, through healthy means. Not addictions! Good thoughts healthy teens.
