  1. I remember a story on a young girl in Brisbane called Bianca SAEZ on 60 Minutes several years ago and a follow up after she had an operation to try to cure it but unfortunately it didn’t work so she decided to live with it. According to the show she had the worst case in Australia. She is now a young woman making her own way in the world and she is absolutely charming. She has her own YouTube channel with regular updates to help and encourage others with it. She is lightheaded, funny and makes jokes about it. She offers helpful hits on cleaning her home, cooking and day to day problems it causes. She speaks at various camps this are run for sufferers. She is an inspiration to all not just those with the condition. Acceptance is all anybody needs and rightly deserves and I hope these three young people receive it in spades.
