You'll find that most everyone here on the boards has a story and has traveled down a treacherous path to get to where they are today. But I like to think we are all pretty good at supporting each other as we move forward.
I just wish I had better news to give you. I know how difficult this all is. The important thing is to keep trying to drill down to get to the reason for your pain and get the best possible medical care you can. AND to stay as positive as you are able.

Knowledge is Power, and we have the power to help make ourselves better.
We WILL get better, it just might take a little longer than the average person
