Wooo hooo! I took my boyfriend with me to the doctor yesterday and either him sitting there, looking unimpressed or just the fact that my doctor is tired of me showing up made the doctor finally suggest I go to see a specialist. So yay. Off to get some blood tests today, and then he is gonna send me off to see somebody. It might take months for an appointment but.. baby steps, right? AND I tried some soy replacement stuff yesterday. I bought hamburger patties made from soy, with no bad stuff in it and a juice box thing of soy chocolate milk stuff that was actually good! The store I went to also had something like ice cream made from soy but I am not sure if I am allowed it or not... I am still wrapping my mind around all this. And the bonus is.. I haven't been sick today!! Granted all I have had is some bread and toast and it's only 1 in the afternoon but I am feeling much more chilled out today since I didn't wake up, having to hurry to the potty! Just wanted to send a little happy message, after all my complaining as of late!! Thanks for everyone's support! --Steph.

Yay Steph! Glad you're feeling more positive! I love soy products - they're yummy!
Soy ice cream needs care as it's so cold (well, doh! ). Maybe try a little bit after a safe dinner?
Good luck! Keep me updated.

Hey, Steph. That's good news!
It's funny that you said that about your boyfriend. On several occasions I've accompanied friends and family members to doctor appointments to play that roll on purpose, 'cause I know that it can intimidate the doctors into actually thinking! Nice move!
Glad to hear about the soy. Yay, you! I bought some soy icecream the other day (and don't care for it ) but will keep trying other brands... Just don't forget, even though it's soy you still have to eat it carefully due to the fat content, from what I've read from others! DO NOT DO A BEN AND JERRY'S STYLE BINGE!
