Zizzle & Gabes it's good to rant .. Helps relieve some of the pent up stress. It's a little like getting the Dx for crohns and MC... It took them long enough, almost 12 years!

Initially I felt happy that we had something to treat, that we could put a name to it, then angry that it took so darned long.

I'm glad for both of you that at least progress is being made.

Z, what an amazing rollercoaster! WHOO-HOO for getting some answers!!!

And it is entirely understandable that the grieving process would be pronounced. Don't deny it (I know you won't, but sometimes we have to be reminded of what we already know), but let it work itself all out so you can come to a place of hope, energy, peace, and rest.

And I think that your husband may be in denial. I know my husband does that. He loves his kids so much that he doesn't want them to suffer or be ill at all so he gets mad if one of them suggests that something may be wrong. Like they actually are sensitive to gluten and don't just have the gene. I think your husband will come around in time.

Oh Zizzle, once again I hear you! Boy, do I hear you! You are echoing across my childhood, teenage years, marriage, divorce, middle age, survival....and so forth! The loneliness, the sadness, the misery of being different.
Some different symptoms but similar responses. I lost 4 babies. The 3 that I delivered are FINE, and were fine the second they were out. It was ME that wasn't OK, but no one knew why.
And on and on......

I understand your anger, and your grief. I am glad you can cry about it. I am glad you can rant about it, and I am glad you will protect your kids from the same suffering.
I am also glad there is this forum where people so understand what you went through and support you completely.

Hi Zizzie,

Wow, your Doctor sounds fantastic!! Lucky you!

I know that sad/angry feeling too. I've only just been diagnosed, but I'm pretty ticked about the issues I've had that were passed over and dismissed and ignored too. Hopefully we can help our kids avoid the same pain.

Hugs,
Robin
