Sara,

Duting my stay in Limbo, one thing I've seen over and over is the "you're causing your symptoms through stress" garbage. Go ahead and see that counselor....maybe he/she can put the whole stress thing to rest for you.

You know your body Sara, if you know that your problem is a physical one and your doctor isn't taking you seriously, then get a new doctor. Another thing you may want to do is try to remain as calm and level headed as possible when on your doctor visits. I do this and I think that it is the only reason I haven't heard the "it's all in your head" crap. Don't let them label you Sara, be strong and take control of the situation. The second any doctor even hints at this "thing" being my own doing he will become my ex-doctor. Period.

Hang in ther kiddo, and remember thatyou are NOT CRAZY!!!
