I'm not from the Bay Area (I'm in Illinois actually), but I've been dealing with this condition for a number of years, so I understand what you're going through. If you ever need someone to talk to, don't be afraid to reach out to me. This condition doesn't only do a number on your body, but also it breaks you don't mentally from people's reactions to you. I'll be starting cdl school soon, and am thinking about being a long distance driver.
