Welcome Darcy,
By now you know you're not alone anyway. This monster effects us all much in the same way but yet we do differ in other ways. The sucky thing is that it don't go away. Some of us have remissions but it usually returns.
The good news is meds. At least we can treat and ease the pain.
Very sorry to hear about your situation but here you can vent, learn, share and hell even scream and we'll listen...
