Feel better soon Peggy!! You will see after awhile that it will be worth it.
My mother always had a saying and she would say it in German but roughly translated it meant that if you want to be beautiful, you have to endure some pain. She used to say that to my sisters all the time because they had hair down to their waist and the tangles were awful. The end result will be worth it. Focus on the prize--I had BR/BL on June 10th and the pain lasted a few days and the discomfort and lack of sleep for about another week after but it is worth it.
