I applaud Echoes & Crab76's response - care not about the diagnosis, & focus on the symptoms! Love that! Me, I was diagnosed with two different things....and now, years later, have "self-diagnosed" an additional two "labels". Which irritated the dickens out of me at first, as well as caused me to fear I was becoming one of those hypochondriacs, who starts believing she has everything she reads about. But you're right, retro_chic - y'all are. It's common to have more than one diagnosis....and there's a lot of overlap among many. I'm trying to remember, myself, the name / label doesn't matter....what I need to focus on is understanding what the heck is happening, has happened, has been happening all along, and what I can do about it. Sounds like you're on a good track - reaching out, asking questions, learning. And I'm not just saying that because it happens to be what I'm doing!
Thanks for this!
