It has been almost 5 years since I was really sick, and yet...looking at those pictures...I just have never regained a healthy appearance. I don't look as sickly as when I was sick, but before, I looked full of life in my face. Although I had some acne, my skin had a healthy flush, my eyes had more light in them, etc. I can tell if a picture was from before I got sick just by looking at my face in it.
