Carmilla, Thanks for your response. I had not thought about constipation but that is a problem Ive had since my late teens and early twenties as well. Maybe all this is a dumb question but it is interesting to me to find out that having once been dx'ed, I for one have found myself seeing things in my past that not only could have contributed but may have been precursors. And I guess I wondered if others have gone through this as well. I appreciate your comments.
