"If only I had started earlier and knew more in the past, not blindly trusted adults to "do their thing" like dentists and doctors who know better."
Oh yes, what if.. My doctor, back then, (when I still believed they had a say in things), said "it is just your nerves getting to you"
Yes, IBS is only the nevrosis of being a woman, so are all things they dont know about. sarcasm off. I have never been less nervous as back then. Thanks to him I realized I had to do this myself. If he only knew what he started back then :-))
