I remember when I was a little boy my parents noticed that my hearing had got worse, but nobody knew at the time what was causing it. That wasn't the only symptom. I loved drama when I was younger, but so many times I would get these nasty rashes on my arms and face just when I was leaving for class in the evening, and end up having to stay home. It made me so unhappy, and my self-confidence went through the floor! When I found out that my condition had a name and that it could be treated, I couldn't believe it. Now I can just get on with my life. It's fantastic!
