How did y'all first get into marketing? I'm just as interested in the marketing side as I am the internetainment side, because I know that one couldn't exist without the other. (Did Alka Seltzer just randomly approach you? Did things just come about organically?)

I've have a neurological disorder since about age 18 that's caused those issues along with some other stuff. Hang in there. I'm now about to turn 23. :) My tip to anyone with any kind of illness is to laugh a lot. Or smile. (Sometimes laughing too hard can make symptoms worse; you know all this.) You seem to have a good sense of humor, which I think is really important.

Also - do you think doing an IAmA was helpful for you? You might have already answered this. But do you think it helped you internally to get more information out there? Do you recommend it? I was an ambassador for one of my implanted devices for awhile (answering future patients' questions) and I used to blog about the primary disease. I kind of fell away from those things because of commitment and disease progression, but do you think the IAmA was helpful for YOU? The whole "should i do this to help others" thing is a constant battle. For example - there was an experimental and investigational treatment for one of my secondary issues that I battled with trying, because I knew that my participation would help others in the long run, even if it didn't help me.
