Hi medicineman! I'm still new to the board too and am glad to have found others going thru much of the same things. I've had this for at least 15 yrs and am grateful for Heather's book. My husband does understand which is helpful but his family has taken longer. I've been teased for leaving the dinner table to go to the restroom. I loved the "did you go to throw up?" bit. Frustrating! But all is better now and they are coming around. However, it's not something you like everyone to know about!
