Hug
Thanks for your reply. It makes a lot of sense and looking back I can see episode of major negative life events for which my GH probably made me look 'resilient'! Since the surgery I think my physical state is more coherent with my mental state. Although I feel more on a roller coaster of emotions!!
Hug
I read what you shared with Arid... I also did not connect the dots with my symptoms until..I after I was diagnosed ...one of my early journal entries explans how I was dianosed...anyway...I thoguht like you did so many of these symtpoms seemed like aging...I too was told that i did not " look like I had acro...but when you look at picture oer time...it was clear!!!! even now I look at pics prior to surgery and I see a big difference today....although I have gained 45 pounds...anyway just thoguht I would say HI
