Welcome to NT. You will meet some friends and most certainly get some support. When these medical problems hit, even when your emotions are stable, it can rock anyone's world. Pain is awful and it does mess with you regarding emotionally and with relationships. Seek a councilor if you have to. Sometimes they can offer coping skills while you are looking for your DX. I will keep both of you in my prayers. Just be as supportive as you can be. We all need help at times in our lives. ginnie
