I definitely have similar symptoms that you do and IT IS SO NICE TO FINALLY HAVE PEOPLE WHO TRULY UNDERSTAND. YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!!! (lol maybe YOU DO!) As for meds, I can't say whether or not you need them. My Zelnorm experiment was a bust - didnt work...so I am back to square one again. BTW dont worry about going on and on i want to hear it! And dont worry about feeling sorry for yourself. Sorry but sometimes we gotta!!!!!
