Mary Ann, Thanks so much for making that distinction about * curable * cd. You are right recycling is common place. I have mentioned this before that cd is more than just a condition; it doesnt live in us alone. It is connected with issues that have to be resolved as well. Whether those who suffer from cd are inherently more apt to have family or personal issues, or whether they are there only because we all have issues that we do not always wish to confront, does not matter. It is that the use of medication is not enough. It only pushes the cd to the background and if one thinks that one is *cured,* it comes back at some point and must be faced again. *seattle* Audrey friend of pwp aussie John 49/42/38?
