Chris, I was so glad to see your post. I am sorry that you have
arthritis of the spine, it sounds painful. Tears of happiness and
sadness are common in a support group and a successful support group
makes everyone feel welcome and willing to share innermost feelings and
fears. Even the medical profession recognize that all of modern
medicines and treatments may not be enough; an entirely different
dimension of effective therapy can be provided by a support group. You
are an important part of this support group. Sherry
