What is your Christmas List?

As I was looking through my kids' lists this year - I had told them make sure you put the most important things at the top 5 so Santa and the family knows what you want the most. The thought occurred to me if I could choose my five top symptoms to get rid of what would they be - not easy since there are so many - but here is what I choose:

1. Brain Fog/Dizziness
2. ANXIETY!!!
3. Intestinal issues (I developed lymphocytic colitis and now IBS - was told from large doses of antibiotic use probably)
4. Migraines/headaches/stiff neck (these all seem to go to together - so I can lump in one right LOL)
5. dental pain/jaw pain/problems at dentist (not numbing, feeling too much, sensitive teeth, anxiety)

What's on your list?!?

Blessings,
Leah

1.  NO MORE INSOMNIA!!

2.  I want my brain back.  All neuro symptoms gone so I can attend college like a normal 18yr. old.

3.  No more muscle cramps/spasms, esp. charlie-horses.

4.  Intestinal issues/Digestive issues fixed.

5.  Some of my family members and old, school "friends" would finally see I'm not lying about having this disease and that it's more than just "flu-like" symptoms.  How could I have been "faking" a disease for the past 3 1/2 years?

Get rid of #4 for me.

I thought this list was interesting, not that I don't go over this everyday in my head =(

1. Get rid of my bladder pain
2. Get rid of constant urge
3. Get rid of frequency
4. Get rid of burning sensation
5. Stop feeling like a zombie in my head, I want to feel ALIVE! . . . =/
