I am hoping to get a hold of Tiffany to see what has happened. It sounds like we are having identical problems, I'm at 12 weeks. I feel like I'm going to die. I'm wondering if you got better or worse, and if better, what you did? It's ironic I'm also 27 years old. I'm taking a chance leaving my e-mail, I'm that despirate. Langenfeld.Jennifer@Healthnow.org
