Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I have a meeting with the Office of Disability Services this afternoon to discuss the medical review board's decision regarding my disability status. If it is determined that my condition does not apply under the Americans with Disabilities Act, I will have to move out of the special dorms for Honors College students because they won't accommodate me in the faculty appartments in the building unless it is an ADA issue.

I'm really trying to keep it together and do what is necessary for my health, but I don't want to leave this building because all of my friends live here and we have special privleges because we are in the Honors Program at Penn State. I know I can fight their decision if it is not in my favor, but that will take so long to get resolved and if I get my parents lawyer involved I'll most likely graduate before anything is resolved.

Life just really stinks. Dealing with IBS is bad enough, and now I have to give up so much more than just food because of a medical condition. I'm so frustrated and depressed right now. The only good thing is that my parents are going to come up here on Sunday to bring me some food and hugs.
