@hellab You're never alone when you're here on Mayo Clinic Connect! That's one of the reasons this forum works so well for us. Sharing experiences, concerns, treatments that work [or don't for us!]. We each have our unique journeys.

Feeling "not alone" is important, and I know you understand that!
