Mike,
Good post. Us bickering on this message board is not going to bring about the changes that we need in the medical society. Thanks for encouraging all of us to write to our representatives. Health care is in deperate need of correction in some areas. IMHO, this need to be sure our symptoms are called only one thing or another is a waste of time. If there is one thing I am learning on my trips, is that we are all suffering from different symptoms, but yet we call them clusters. Some of us have the migraine symptoms too. Some of us don't know what the hell we have as far as a name. But does that really matter? yes, as far as diagnosing, but after that??
I guess today I just don't feel like arguing. My wonderful daughter-in-laws mother died last night from cancer. What a waste. I just want us to all pull together, get along, and work to help us all get the relief that we so desperately need.
Sorry for the length. Just that when someone close to you dies, you begin to put things in their proper perspective.
Gotta go, getting another Ch now.
Please if you disagree with me, do me a favor and just don't post to me. I am just too sad today to deal with anymore crap!
