Thanks, Dogtanian!
ACK!! You sure went through an awful time with that "teenage angst" dx.

So sorry anyone has to endure that!!! Even though we may not have the medical background, I think we generally know our own bodies the best and know, like you did, that what you were experiencing was more serious than what the Dr. said.
Yes, I expect to have good support now that I have this new therapit. She really seems to be on the right track!
