Amanda,
Hehehe....I agree!!! But I am glad too, that they are people out there
who not only know, but who truly understand. There are times when I am
describing my pain to doctors,that I get the feeling that they don't
believe me. Have you ever had that happen? Isn't it frustrating?? Well
I will tell ya this Amanda, Teresa and Heather, if I run across anything
that looks like it may help, ya'll will be the FIRST to know! In the
meantime, I hope ya are able to find some relief. Tomorrow I go back to
the doc, hopefully something good will come out of that!
Hugs to ya'll,
Selisa ; )
