Thank you, Nelly, for this great response. I read it last night and it was something I really needed to hear. If you had told me that in person I would have given you a big kiss on the forehead.
Instead, I managed a stiff little jig of joy. I just was so happy to hear that I have support, that you're finally finding what you need, that you and Mel get to share such a marvelous doctor, and that you have a good feeling about me and getting a diagnosis.

Terrifying yet exciting! It blows my mind trying to imagine what life would be like without these disorders/conditions.
