it sounds like you do have another way, via acupuncture and yoga ... do you find them healpful? do you practice mindful breathing or meditation? ..... you said you have your doubts, what are you doing to process them? .... my doubts tend to take over my sense of reality, I wish they wouldn't ....

You have to be patient. You'll get there. Take one day at a time. Live in the present and continue to do what you're doing. Remember you are stronger than the anxiety. I'm trying to get through this without meds and am slowly improving. Be good to yourself and praise yourself. Don't think negatively. The mind has a powerful effect on the body.

I've had PAs since I was 21. There are times when I think they are gone for good... them BOOM, they sneak back up on me. I have no idea what triggers them and wish I did so I could be free of them. I can go a couple of months feeling just great, then have them really bad for a month or so, then they slack off, and I'm ok for awhile.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
