Hi there,

I don't have much advice for you. I've only had to tell 2 people.
One said, "Whew, that's a relief, I have it too" and the other one
said that he was okay with it, anyone who didn't understand and
couldn't deal with it wasn't worth having, I really thought it was
going to be okay and I thought he was "the one", but I was wrong.
Then, he promptly disappeared. This was devastating as he was a
friend for a long time and we no longer even have a friendship. So,
I have to tell myself that he wasn't worth having.

I dread the time that I have to do it again, but hang in there and
just be honest. We can only hope that the folks we tell appreciate
us telling them. I think the only way I have come up with to tell is
just to sit down and say that before things get too intense you just
need to have a serious talk with him and just come out and tell
him. Then, maybe suggest he do some research on the internet or see
a doctor to ask questions and go from there. It amazes me when
people freak, as it isn't something that will KILL you, it's just a
nuisance. Not to make light of it, but I've had it since age 20 and
I'm almost 40 now, so I've really come to terms with it.

Good luck with telling him. My thoughts will be with you and do let
us know how it goes.

Hugs,
Stacia in Daytona
