    Hi ailsarobby

    welcome back but oh dear I am sorry that you have such a lot to contend with. I hope the meds you are now taking help to finally control all your symptoms. Good luck with the mri scan and keep your chin up, you seem to have a strong positive attitude and I send a few more vibes to top you up.

    Take care
