I am more than willing to listen to anything you have to say about alternative medicine at this stage in my life. With no health insurance and little faith in "big medicine" and even bigger drug companies, I am grateful for relatively good health (except for this nasty flu virus I can't seem to shake). Thank goodness you and Mr. Jenny found each other.

I haven't read the comments in any of those posts, but I'm willing to bet that your story has struck a nerve with many women. I have heard that "you're depressed" diagnosis too. When a man goes to the Dr. with a complaint, I don't think he usually hears that diagnosis. I always think of the movie, Stepford Wives. Are the male Drs trying to turn us all into model women? When, I heard it from a female Dr, I had to throw out that theory. Our daughter is a recovering drug addict (she's been clean for 10 yrs). Although the professionals tell us it is not the parent's fault, there is still that nagging feeling in the back of my mind. I know my comment has turned into a book, and I apologize for that. (I may missing writing on my Inner Critic blog more than I reaized!) Your posts have made me again think about how we never know what someone is going through and not sharing. It makes me so angry that professionals can make us feel ashamed of our pains, and I'm afraid it causes a lot of us to give up and quit trying to find the answers. I look forward to reading the rest of your compelling and heart-breaking story. laurieBargain Decorating with Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582640485560903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-55862701551253468562012-11-13T08:53:06.709-08:002012-11-13T08:53:06.709-08:00Thank you for sharing your story with us.
