I've been sickly for quite sometime. Until now I have chalked it up to just how I am. However, a recent bout with several sicknesses has led me to dig deeper into what is causing me to be sick so often. Follow me on my journey as I try to unlock the hidden illness within me and find the healthy person inside wanting to come out.
