That was great, Shelley! And thanks to Johanna for posting that. That really hits the nail on the head. Most of the things she said, are the very things (and conclusion) that I had come to a long time ago for myself. I posted quite a bit on the "other forum" about how a positive outlook and looking at my TOS problems and other health problems from a different perspective had helped ME to deal with it. And basically everything Shelley said was exactly what I've been trying to live by since my problems started- which was in
1975. Everything she said was so true and has really made a huge difference in my life. Thanks again for posting this!
