Re: Group Message: General Rules for Everyone

[Guest guest]

Thanks jim! I completely understand...2.5 years w/o any issues is a long time

to go with such a large diverse-group! I have learned a lot here.....and will

be sending a close friend to join as she herself is faced with many lyme & co

symptoms. SHE....has the same familiar story to share regarding the medical

community, a dx. of fibro, rheumatoid arthritis etc. and then the continual down

hill slide...... I think it would be good for her to learn more info. elsewhere,

then to have a close-friend trying to spoon feed it to her. She is similar to

myself as she has an even younger child to deal with. I hope she finds a good

path in healing. Take care, Jodie L.
