Hi Karen, I know what you mean about feeling like a science project! I'm sure your husband understands and will be glad to see you on Saturday. I cry all the time while watching T.V. I totally understand! I was reading the May Reader's Digest, and could NOT stop crying! It felt good, though, to let some tears out! Doctors appointments can take a lot out of you! they make me very emotional both before and after appts.! Its great that you have a Dr. who listens to you! I'm so glad that you're having some tests done! But that can be very trying to the mind and body as well. I don't believe that you were upset for no reason...those are plenty of reasons! Plus, having your husband gone for several days at a time is extremely difficult! And you have children. Do you work outside of your full time job as a wife and mother? It seems to me that you have a lot of reasons for being upset! Trying so many new medications, etc. can be terrible on the body and mind! Please don't be so hard on yourself! Hug your kids, apologize to them, same with your hubby, and life will go on! You're doing the best that you can! =) We all are! And we're here for you anytime!

Lot's of luv, Joy in CA
