Not only from your experience with OC but from the obvious knowledge, empathy and compassion you possess and so kindly share with others. I have been browsing this site for the last few weeks and some of your posts have brought me to tears.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that believes Christine ROCKS!!

Im here to help those who need it. Some people come here lost and afraid, at the lowest points in their lives where they have no hope left. We are all in this together. Im very fortunate to have survived 3 rounds of OC is 3 years. In the time Ive been part of this forum, Ive picked up alot of info. I try to share what Ive learned to help make things easier for new patients. Hopefully this will not be you and this was just a scare you have been thru. Hope you go out and make the most of today and every day Staying busy helps make passing the time easier.
