No offense was meant at all-my forum speak is not really the touchy feely kind-I'm more direct without meaning to give offense.


Hi lisabinil,

I think my hormones were going crazy yesterday!!! Today I feel a lot more serene and wonder why I got so touchy...

I really do take your point and am hoping - you hear so many horror stories - that I will eventually find a decent doc. As you can see from the above story, my GP has not been very useful so far...
