Hi Violett,

Thank you so much for your kind message and for telling me about that other discussion Smile

I hope I do feel at home here...I always feel a bit strange being 'the new one' if you know what I mean? I get worried about interupting conversations *blush*

Hugs xxx

I haven't been around for a while. Didn't know a thing about the forum for both RSD and IBS. Will have to check that out myself.

Thanks Violett!
