Perfectly said LisaLM.You all need to remember why people like LisaLM, Kit, Bill, Basso, GaryM, have been here for so long...because they have been going through this for that long. Between them, I am sure they have expierenced every possible senario (just search their posts for goodness sakes) that you could possibly post. And I am also willing to put money on the fact that they also know way more about BFS than most Doctors that you may go see...because it has already been explained that not much research goes into BFS...because it is BENIGN!!! However these "oldtimers" have lived with this for a very long time...they have researched, went to Doctors of all sorts, compiled information from others, and they just...know. So, listen to them, take their advice, and respect them. If they tell you something is this way or that, it's because it is. If you cannot accept it for what it is, it is time to treat the anxiety, because NOTHING else is going to get better until you kick that.
