I’m at war with my body. At war with my skin. It’s torture. Absolute torment. I live with an unforgiving, relentless, heartbreaking rare disease, especially for women and children. It’s a thief. It robs women of beauty, intimacy, sexuality, womanhood and confidence—always taking, never giving. Written by Carrie Hodgin
