Hello! Welcome to the forum. I've learned a lot from this forum about how to deal with some of the very same issues you have listed. It seems that everyone here is very willing to share their knowledge, and it makes a big difference!

Rachel, you are so right. Sometimes we tend to find someone that we really connect with and start e-mailing on the side,(guilty) which is great......but those conversations about Mito, don't get posted, and it is in sharing information on here, that we come to reconize patterns and possible solutions. So everybody ask away at questions, weather you think they are trivial or not!  Nobody judges! This IS, how we find alot of answers. It is so nice to see more people adding to the forum! Welcome.
