Paula, Peg, Rosebud, Fiona,
Thank you so much for your posts, the old and the new, and their special kind of clarity. An acupuncturist who worked with me before my dx told me that I had a 'stuck' condition that reflected where my life was at, and that I would need to unstick my mind and spirit to work with what I had got, no matter what box the medical world would eventually fit me into. What is real for me now is to dissolve the boxes that I, and the world around me conjure up, till there is no separation, till everything is workable with, to clear the complications and the cloudiness. Fiona, what can I say, your words resonated so much , and Paula thank you for starting this thread, for having that kind of courage....
