Welcome Tina,
Hopefully you will be able to find some support and even some comfort here with our peeps in this forum; it is a good group of people who compliment each other in ways that work for all of us; as some do the research and some have the knowledge in their heads from experience with the illness and then others are just the real mcCoys who know how to comfort and send prayers and then too all the rest of the group who are great listeners and posters;
and we all are here for the same reason: support, support and more support! lol, so true!!
Any questions or comments you may have are very welcome to all of us and you too will probably find yourself on the other end of the equation, able to comfort someone else who is newly having symptoms you may have had in your past; that is how this group works.... it is symbiotic in many ways and I will hope that you can find some solace and peace just by reading through our posts, old and new!
Stay well, be very careful with the sun especially at this time of year and most of all, I am sending wishes of happiness for you!
hugs from Shelagh
