    37 Year Old RN Diagnosed with BFS

    Thanks Krackersones for your reply- your time and knowledge is appreciated. I don't want to take any drugs, but my body does need a break from underlying anxiety that I can't seem to get rid of, even after meditation, self talk, deep breathing, warm baths, music, etc., etc., etc.. Good luck in...

    Finding My Way Back: Need Input

    Ed, Simon and Becky- thanks so much for your replies. Ed- no way these guys are getting chocolate cake or a celebration- but join me mentally for a drink- I'm going to have a top shelf/rocks/no salt. Alcohol probably isn't good for this syndrome, though . . . . right? And, no flattery in that...

    Finding My Way Back: Need Input

    First, I have to admit, this forum is so much better than the last one I visited, even though I met some courageous people who are facing that nasty disease with more grace and dignity than I will ever be able to muster. I'm pretty sure I was about over the edge (insert your own definition)...
