Its comforting when you find there are many others out there like you who have been thru OC treatments. You will find lots of help with your questions and Im sure you can be a help to others who are just starting out. Very soon you will start feeling like your old self. It usually takes a few weeks after treatments end to feel better. When you have time, please add a signature so we can get to know you better.
