I hope you are reading the posts here and will know that all of us are very concerned about you. I cannot imagine the severity of the pain you must be in, having never experienced anything like you have. I am so sorry...

There are a number of us here on this board who have gone through some very tough times though, and for many of us, this board has been a tremendous source of help and strength during these times.

We would be most happy to do anything we could to try and help, or just be a sounding board for the frustration that comes when you cannot get answers, relief, or help from physicians. There is no need to feel any embarrassment for posting your feelings, regardless of what they are. There are several here who have had similar feelings. You will find this to be a nice group composed of people from all over, all of whom really want to help one another.

Please let us hear from you and know that we are all thinking of you.
