I thought this was worth sharing - it's well written and conveys to readers a glimmer of understanding of some aspects of what we have been, and are going through. I say well done to the journalist for tackling it, thanks to the doctors who gave insights, and to all of us - a reminder that hope lives in thoughts, actions and deeds. The more open we are in educating people, nudging practitioners (who are just human too) to try harder to help us, and the more supportive we are of valid research in this area (which is huge and barely understood) - the better it will be for not only us, but those who havn't even begun to travel down this strange and frightening road.
