I...You're definitely not alone in the struggle. It takes a willingness to understand and to learn to grasp how extensive the effects of FAP is. It was years before I was able to connect the dots myself, and I'm one with it, living with it everyday. I always answer the question is it caused by FAP with a yes and no answer. Without the FAP, I wouldn't have xyz problem but it actually occurred as a side effect of the FAP. what a weird concept for nonies (ha, I'm gonna start referring to non-FAPers as that). There's so much going on in our bodies we won't find out about until the next thing happens, we're prime examples of an invisible illness. Maybe show your family a healthy looking doll that opens up with crazy junk inside, maybe they need a visual. :) Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198921480286128160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298918764307626057.post-71847868275638385972014-10-02T22:49:13.631-05:002014-10-02T22:49:13.631-05:00Oh my gosh!

I'm so glad someone else gets this, I feel so many who have FAP and remove their colon don't understand how it affects the WHOLE body. I could go on and on. Not only don't the medical professionals understand it - kind of why I'm on the natural path - but relatives don't either. I "look" fine, i'm not super skinny so I must "be" fine.
