I am glad you found us, I found it this past December. My life has changed for the better with the friendships, education and support we have here...just to know that we are not alone is a big deal. All this adhesion stuff is tough, but when you have a group such as this to walk with every step of the way...well, it just makes it easier.
Big welcome hug to ya,
Janet
