C - what are those drugs you posted about? Are the SSRI's or tranquilizers? What is their "brand" name? (i.e. prozac, xanax, etc?)
Are you doing the CBT program on here? I have barely scratched the surface with it, but feel its helping already.
Thanks for talking to your friends. Remember, be gentle with me! If someone told me right now "your symptoms are exactly what my friend who has MS had..." I think I would drop right off the edge of my sanity. KWIM?
