Can I just say what a blessing this blot is?! My husband was diagnosed less than a month ago after more than 7 years of intensely searching for answers and relief. I wouldn't wish this life on anyone, but it's nice to not be alone :)
ReplyDeleteTiffany sorry to hear about your husband. How is he going? It may be difficult in the early days. It took me 8 years to get a diagnosis too. So pleased this little blog could help someone and thanks for letting me know.
