After 7 years with BMS I can say my life is finally changing for the BETTER. Not everyone will agree but please hear me out. I tired drugs, acupuncture, water, closing myself off and lots and lots of testing. Finally a friend suggested his psychiatrist. Right..I almost ended it....SO I gave her a chance. My way, no drugs, I can quit when I want and she have to be a believer in God. In the first months I saw her weekly then twice a month and on the second year once a month and after two years I felt I was able to handle it on my own. So far so good. I have flare ups but I usually can quiet them. I now understand what happens and why and how to help myself. The best thing for ME was the punching bag in my basement. When it flares up I get down there right away.I yell and scream at the people who are upsetting me. Most of the time its decisions that are being made for me, about me that I have no say in. Stuff from my dad to my kids and from my husband. This is NOT stuff that hurts me but things that affect me on a daily basis. I have always done for others and gotten stepped on because I didn't make a big issue about it. NOT NOW ! I push back and I fight back. It's my time so leave it alone.Best of luck to you all. Margie
