i've suffered from chronic genetic pancreatitis since age eight! i am thankful to have found this community but i am wondering how old everyone is? my sister has also been sick since birth, my cousin since he was a teenager, and now i've got another cousin who was recently diagnosed at age four! i love kids so very much, and i'm engaged, but i am going to have a tubal ligation to ensure that i never pass this on to my children. i ensure you that it is one of the hardest choices i have made, but it is one of the best as well. anyway! how old is everyone? i am now 22, i will be 23 in two weeks though!
