HI
I felt just as you and have posted some questions recently on u.s. op's. I have been using op's since Jan/feb. i was nervous also. but at the time didn't know about DB and all the help support and info you get here . If you have your med records use an op that requires you to fax them in if that makes you feel more comfortable. I haave had no problems. My doctors are what made me take the plunge. I was/am tired of being treated like a 2 yr old or having my concerns brushed aside and I got sick and tired of suffering because the doctor "thinks" this or that or "feels if I would just..." It was always about what he felt and not how I ME MYSELF felt or what he could do for ME. It is nice to be able to stand at the sink and cook or do my dishes and not cry. You can PM me if ya want or need to talk or whatever. It was hard at first for me also cause I am in this alone (except for my new friends here) as my husband is far to impatient and my kids are just teens and have lives to live. Hope this helped a little. sorry for rambling
