[QUOTE=ed2012;845277]Hello,
.....because of some of the horror stories I have read. I QUOTE]

Welcome! Sorry for your pain and that you have to make this decision for yourself.

Regardless of which way you ultimately go:
My GP doc advised me that there will always be a disproportionate number of horror tales to success stories because the successes are more apt to be out there living their lives, not seeking help on the internet. Applicable to any malady.
