I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. It makes me really mad to
hear that someone says that this is a curable disease. I think they would
feel differently if they were at least a little more educated about it. If
it is so curable why have all of us suffered for so long? I am sorry that
you were treated this way. I would try to find a specialist who will work
with you to get your pain under control. And maybe in the mean time you
could find some way to work at home. I do hope that you will be feeling
better soon and all works out for you. I will keep you in my thoughts.
Carolyn
