      From gemyork September 3

      Hang in there Chrissy. I had a resection in January after a blockage. It takes quite a while to heal. Your body has been through a major to do. If they had to do a big incision it takes even longer. My incision is still tender. I am still having different tests to see why I still have a lot of pain. I hope you feel better soon! Diane

    • Close Anxiety Disorders in Children

      My daughter has episodes of severe anxiety and I'm trying to find out as much as I can to help her out. She's in counseling and has been in counseling before and each episode usually lasts a few months and is focused on something different. When she was three, she was anxious about anyone going near her bedroom; when she was five, she had school phobia and was afraid of having to go to the bathroom; and now that she's nine, she's afraid of throwing up.
