The only thing is that I seem to reach a point where I just go into total overload... where suddenly I can't assimilate all the information and all the conflicting requirements. I have recently been diagnosed as pre-diabetic and hashimoto's thyroiditis but unfortunately they are both overshadowed by the scary stuff the immunologist is looking at at the moment. I wrote for the PFAM blog too and that is what sent me to your blog. g'day from one fibro reader to another!Displacedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935138415726176103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17043579.post-33629692501699185592011-11-24T21:18:45.949-05:002011-11-24T21:18:45.949-05:00Wendy - Glad to hear I'm not the only informat...Wendy - Glad to hear I'm not the only information-overload patient.
