Thankyou for your kind words, they meant alot to me. I know the emails can be overwhelming some days ;-) I'm really glad you are going to stay with us too, your idea of a database of surguries is a truly good one, and all your input is invaluable too. Sometimes, just an idea of something to try, something to ease the pain, makes this board worthwhile. Knowing we make a difference helps us to keep fighting.
I know how hard the struggle is between work, family, yourself and pain. In saying that, pathetic is the last thing I would say you sound like. Because, if you sound pathetic, then I do too !! I think we all totally understand each other.
This disease does exist, it is in the Medical journals and not in our head. It's recognition needs a little push, but it's still very debilitating and real. I see my friends (that's you too) struggle with it's complexities every day.
And believe it or not, your postings touch me too. I love how quickly you respond to requests. I have noticed that ;-)
I'm here for you and everyone anytime always Lots of Love ((((Your pain pal)))) Trace xo
