Hi there. Just curious if there is anyone close to me with this issue... I'm in Moncton and would love to meet someone to talk to, or facebook with or someone who "gets it" you know? I'm new to this board.
Hi there. I'm new here. Still getting the hang of this IC stuff, only 4 months in ... nice to meet you all. Mary
