Hi!

Tanks for your support, even though I didn`t get to reed what others might have said. Of course the post was removed...

It took me 2 1/2 half year to get a diagnosis. I think that was extreeemly long, and the waiting almost ruined my life.

But reed the postings on this page: 8-10 years of waiting is more common. Some people are totally ruined from using SSRI and other meds based on misdiagnosing when they finally get a N diagnosis.

It`s difficult to get good treatment for N because the disorder is so uncommen, but actually, (where I live, at least) you have to kick & scream to get antibiotics if your child has neumonia as well. You certainly don`t get it from being a nice person.

So I guess I have grown to be any doctors nightmare - I don`t put any trust in the so called knowledge of teachers, president, priministers, policemen or any other offercial gate opner either. As long as they don`t prove that they have any.

But I do value the advise on N from other people that suffers from N. Logically, there is a great chance that that they will know what they`re talking about. And what other motive could they have, but wanting to help their fellow sufferers?

That`s why we are in this forum, isn`t it?

T.R.
