Thank you all for your very encouraging posts. As I said, I have really become hopeless about this disease since I went off the antidepressant Paxil. I guess I am just having a really rough time since my symptoms have become extrmely bad. I just hope and pray that we begin to understand this syndrome better. The good news, regardless of the motivation (MONEY) is that the medical companies are on it. I am hopeful that more and more people don't have to suffer from this, but I am also really selfish in that I want to feel better. I am getting my masters degree in education, and I hope that this does not keep me from touching the lives of children. I have always wanted to be a teacher, and have now devoted much time to the study of teaching. Please, God, let us all feel better from this disease. I can't wait for the day that I come on here, and see success story after success story without everyone thinking you work for the company. . LALA
