I felt the same way when I first read this board. I poured through it for hours. I couldn't believe there were others out there too! I had become convinced I was losing my mind or becoming a hypochondriac (sp). There have been lots of helpful tips on here and also it has given me a direction to look for help. The biggest thing though has been the ability to talk with others who know EXACTLY what we are going through. The Dr.'s try to understand, but I don't think they can really comprehend. Having this place to vent and ask questions has helped me keep my sanity.
You aren't alone anymore!
Good Luck Beth C
