UPDATE!Hi all - wow, it's been nearly 7 years since my original post. Am updating because I've had no symptoms at all (maybe a tiny few, but I ignore them) in that time, and I'm well. I know it would have really reassured me to see a post like this when I first joined, so that's why I'm...

Hi guys,You can see that in 2009 I was a bit of a mess, and genuinely terrified.Well, it's nearly 2013 and I'm fine!Hope that gives some people some peace of mind. It would have helped me a lot to read a post like this back then.Love D x

Hi guys,Looking for some advice/support/reassurance and really just to write this down to get it all out.I've been lurking on this site for a few months and have only recently got up the courage to post.I'm 28, female, a health professional. You'd think that would help, but if anything I think...
