David, I'm glad you found this forum too. You will find much comfort and informative information here. We all need support dealing with this monster. I still remember the day I was diagnosed in 2002 (5 years after the 'event') It was like the Dr. was speaking in a different language. but it soon became crystal clear when he gave me pages and pages of information on the disorder.
Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. loretta
