Guest [be...] Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Today is 17 months off and I am feeling very close to healed, what a terrible ride this has been, but I have learned a compassion for others that I never thought was possible.

Your coming down the home stretch, dont forget to post your success story. Thank you , it was just gradual and then sometimes I would just notice a symptom would go away , so a little of both I would say . Just seems to take a long time but you will definitely notice improvement month to month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so very happy for you Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
