Do people confuse your condition with min, Cystinosis? They always confuse Cystinosis with Cystic Fibrosis.

It's a amino acid processing disorder. Basically, my cells don't process cystine correctly--if I don't take my meds every six hours and Eyedrops every waking hour, I get cell damage. The eyedrops were finally approved by the FDA (after a 14 year study where you had to go to the NIH to get the Eyedrops).
I'm doing well, considering I had two strokes in February - April. Still have some word finding difficulty, and I tend to get angry more easily than before I had my strokes.
My fiancée has it too--we met through a support group. Only about 2,000 people in the world have it.

I've had 3 strokes and I'm 30 years old. How do you do cope with the aspashia and memory problems?
