You are SO right about that. The last appointment I had with my neurologist, I told her that I felt like a hypochondriac because I had so many different things going on.

It was nice for her to assure me that I was not being a hypochondriac, but now having the physical evidence of why all this is happening gives me permission (for lack of a better word) to just deal with it and quit trying to make it stop.

It's a real blessing to have found this forum to read the thoughts and experiences of other people who are dealing with the same things. It makes a huge difference.
