Hi, I'm Harriet (with no CH) but married to Pete (CCH 6 years). Really glad you have good support from family and fiancée, and now you have OUCH! 

Although we have belonged to OUCH since the start of CH in our lives, until the last few months we were not using the forum. Now I am not working, so have more time and have been paying a lot of attention to the forum, so have more than just our own experience to go by now. Have benefited greatly from the OUCH helpline over the years.

CH is a crazy condition, you couldn't make it up!

H.
