Re: violent aggressive temper/'s plight-please p

[Guest guest]

Thank you Janine and you did not bring up bad memories. These and other

symptoms are on my mind continually as I search for help and answers for the

family to stop these cycles. I was very happy to see that I am not alone and

indeed others are relating this to some types of mito. This helps me go

forward and not question myself so much or give up thinking I am making this

all up or nuts or something. I think support is every bit as important as

knowledge. S.
