Get better soon *huggles*

OMG!!! That's really awful Jenn! Hope you get it sorted soon!
As for doctors who say "It's all in your head" I would love to slap one and say "That wasn't assault it's all in your head." (What it really means is "I'm a crappy doctor who doesn't know what's wrong with you and doesn't want to keep trying to work out what the problem is")
