Hi Heather,

Welcome to the forum. I'm 2 weeks new to the forum myself, so I can't give you much technical information to make you feel any better. But, I can tell you that there is a great group of people here, people you will soon call friends, friends who will cheer you up when you're down or worried and share your happiness when you get good news from the doctors.

I'm sure someone here knows something about what you have. I also think you will get more replies if you first post this in the Introduce Yourself tab of the forum. If I hadn't been cruisin the Symptoms and Diagnosis tab I would've missed it too.

And you might as well create a signature line under My Stuff, Edit Profile. Other's will ask you to do this too. It allows everyone to know at a glance the details of your case and makes it easier for them to respond to you.

Once again, welcome.
Tony
