Hi Collen.
Thank you for the check-up.

I am well. The IBS have been surprisingly behaving and I am happy.

Last week my psychiatrist reviewed my medication and I am taking less now. That comforted me because it shows that I am doing well in that department.

It is actually a relief that for once I don not have aches and pains. LOL

Hi Colleen, thanks for asking!! Things have been a little challenging, and I've tried to make the best of sometimes contradictory information from some of my MDs, and may I say what I can see as conflicting agendas between patient needs and academic medical centers' goals as research institutions. I would just say to readers to be sure to ask your providers at academic centers to explain what each test is for and what they hope to discover by running it. While I have tons of information now on what's going on in my immune system, and lots of stuff has been ruled out as a problem currently, I'm hypervigilent for 'what next.' Its a hard way to live. Thanks for asking! Hope you are all well.

I'm ok.
