I would also like to welcome you Donna. My brother is in the Navy also, was stationed on the Roosevelt for years but is now in New Orleans as a recruiter and will retire this year.
I also found this site after treatment and it pulled me from a deep depression. I spent HOURS reading all the archives and learning things that my wonderful doctors simply couldn't tell me because they had not experienced it. The people on here will pull you through anything you come up against so use us.
