Ada,
I know what you mean about the " I thought you got that fixed" comment.
I get it all the time too. NO one understands. I feel so alone in
this. My mom tells me i should just go tell the doctor to cure me or
find another doctor, "after all it's not cancer" I wish it was
sometimes, people would understand that, and it feels the same to me.
