WELCOME TO ALL OF OUR NEW FRIENDS AND FAMILY

[Guest guest]

Welcome to all our Newbies,

Our numbers of new friends are growing which means that we WILL have a bigger

voice in our treatment and care, but these numbers of new members is also

scary in that MORE people are being affected by this disease and having working

careers, family life's and just everyday living changed in ways that we never

thought imaginable.  We are all sure glad to have you here and we will all

muttle through this together.

We have wonderful moderators and members who have links and articles to help

answer the questions that our doctors never have time for.  Please use the

links and discuss these things with your family and physician.  Please also know

that this is a safe place in that we understand about doctors who won't treat

our pain, doctors who want to wait one more month to start a new treatment,

families and friends who continue to say, " But you don't look sick " , and the

insurance companies who deny our disability claims.  Remember, that we serve

" Whine and Cheese " here daily, so don't hesitate to let us know what is really

going on and how you REALLY feel.

Enjoy getting to know the many interesting members that we have with us.  We

are all looking forward to getting to know you.  And being " Normal " people

before this disease struck, enjoy the recipes, jokes and most of all the

inspirations that our members chose to share with everyone.  Once again,

WELCOME,  WE

are glad you found us!

Gentle, tender, angel hugs,

Debs in FL
