Ali,

I ditto what Karin expressed. I think alot of us tend to withdraw when things are not going great. And that's probably the one time we really do need others. Are you making any progress at all to get your records in front of Dr. B? Or TBI, like you mentioned? I found rounding up all the records to be one of the more challenging tasks, especially when you're in so much pain, and likely trying to cope with depression as well. But I encourage you to persevere, because once they receive your records, the pace should pick up. And please remember, we are here for you. We get what you're going through. Like nobody else.

Hang in there,

Cindylou
