That was surprising to me as well. Having had it since I was 4-5 years old (28 now), it did alter my schooling/friendships. I suppose depression did set in for a while. Some of the medicine's would cause my face to swell up which made me a target for name calling (Prednisone).

College was different though with most people being much more mature. My diet has changed and I'm on a light dose of medication that's kept it at bay for almost 10 years. My last flare-up in 2008 was a killer because I also had the flu at the time, double whammy!
