Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Elaine, You can always post even if you haven't been or not. Please feel free to voice (email) what ever, whenever no matter what. Glad to hear from you once in a while. Boy have we had a busy board today! Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine. Re:Courage Courage, Thank you. I agree with everything you said, but since I do read the messages, but rarely post, I did not feel that I could say what I was feeling. Your thoughts are open,honest, kind and loving and I think because of the respect that is shown to you on this board, will be taken as such. Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 --- Dear Courage, You could never sound like a pompous ass.lol, you are a very strong person and an inspiration to us all.Speaking for myself , its people like you that have helped mom and I get this far.I love this group and you are a very wonderful part of it.My very best to you, I hope all is well Ron In LBDcaregivers , " gaat " wrote: > > I'd like to amend what I wrote here " I was so thankful that I had a doctor who went along with everything I said " because I sound like a pompous ass. What I should have said was that we were lucky that mom/dad had a doctor who really did care about how they were feeling and would listen to what I had to say. I often brought him information on drugs that others had tried here with success and he was very open to these suggestions. Sorry about that folks. > Courage > > Re: Re: I lost your email in regards to more History (Sorry) but Here it is: > > This medication will be added to the list of questions I have for my grandmother's PMD.
