Zenda, thanks for the 20% figure. I wish I knew where that came from. To me it seems a little high. Im just thinking of the members here and in my (uneducated) opinion it seems like maybe 10% get ORN. Im also not one to worry about numbers, anyone who has or gets ORN has their hands full. Doing HBO is no picnic but its necessary.

Wishing you all the very best with everything!!!! You are correct with how important education is! Thanks for everything you do to help fellow OC patients!

Be well my friend smile
