Another thing you will find is that your relatives/friends will not be able to stay unbiased due to their connection with you. I don't want to sound like I'm saying to stay away from them, b/c that's not it. But if you discuss your M problem with them, they will emotionally involved and may not give you the information you need to hear. The people on the board are speaking mostly from experience and from a lot of reading & studying other posters threads. It is better for you to try not to discuss your MR with your family/friends and come here to "vent" your frustrations and ask questions, etc. When you just need to journal, you might say that in your post.....b/c sometimes you might not want advice and just want to write down your feelings.
Anyway, tell us more about the stitch so we can try to help. Sounds like you are starting out with some good steps. Taking care of yourself physically is so important. What do you do for fun? Do you have a hobby or into sports?
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
