I was diagnosed with this in 2011. It's important to find a dr. you trust and it appears you have with Dr. Sullivan. I've been her patient for about 2 yrs now. Everyone's case is different as are the responses to medications. You'll need to be your own self advocate and educate yourself as much as possible. There are support sites on Facebook that are very good. In the beginning I'd freak out over information I read on Dr.Internet so had to quit that. Every medication has "potential" side effects so put that all aside if you can. There is a support group that meets in T.V. but only during the Fall/Winter/Spring season and not during the summer. I think it's run by snow-birds. I've gone a couple of times but for me personally, it wasn't all that helpful. It met in one of the rec centers near Spanish Springs.
