Guest guest Posted July 17, 2000 Report Share Posted July 17, 2000 Hi Peg, ,Your last couple messages sound like you are feeling very despondent. Isthere anything we can do for you? Believe it or not I am in good form. This is the danger of e mails that you can not hear my tone of voice and incorrect inferences can be picked up. The MESSAGE from my last 2 mails and one I will hit on over again is a balanced approach is required. Medical from the docs , and anything else that will try and keep us positive. I talk with a very good counselor who keeps me in reality. Yes I can be very negative and its hard work becoming positive with a very uncertain future ahead. But I believe in giving my experience when I can. Everybody needs to talk, because I am in counseling , I am more tuned in to that end of things. But I do believe strongly in a sort of holistic approach , and I am aware that a negative attitude will hamper our fight against this disease. If next week we find the answer to this disease I will be as happy as anybody else , but at the same time we have to prepare our selves for the fact that we may not find a cure , except transplantation. So do not worry and thanks for the concern. A medical ,mental/psychological,spiritual,(the last one needs allot of work) approach will give us more of a chance than just relying on one. All I am saying is that a complex approach is required for a complex disease. Relying on purely medical info , does not give an overall approach. (in my experience) ) Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
