I haven't taken either one, but I wanted to welcome you to the group. Not having to talk to and understand what it is you are driving at is difficult for both parties. unfortunately, just about all my family try to sweep my illness under the carpet. I think it makes them uncomfortable when I bring it up. Basically it is hard to understand something you have never experienced. That is what makes these forums so great. We have all been there and can relate to what you are saying. So keep posting, we are all here for the support and encouragement.
