Hazel, My daughter will be 13 this month and it's been 2 years since she had her tonsils and adenoids out. I was scared at first but she had sore throats and sinus/ear infections like every month....

I second this. Kitt, scaredy cat, and Merrida all helped me out from the first post I made. I thought I was losing my mind and going to the ER weekly it seemed. Much love for what you do....

Dexter Larry said it nobody on this earth is perfect. Your post remind me of my own daughter who is almost 13. She sometimes says she is not good at anything and nobody likes her. I feel she is good...
It's amazing when we stop and think how things are in different countries. It's also a good idea to stop and think of the blessings we have, and not just focus on what we don't. Good post HT makes me...
I hate anxiety more when I have been doing really good and then out of nowhere a bad day. Of course we are entitled to a bad day though, even people without anxiety will have bad days. We just focus...

Old hat, I know that feeling. My doctors all kept trying to give me valuim and Xanax instead of figuring out what was wrong. The GI I have now simply said IBS at first then after a year and 5 ER...
