Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 c'mon y'all please let's not fight. I have enough stress without having to deal with meaness towards others who are clearly suffering. Let's lift one another up, offer some compassion and love. That is what we all need to deal with this dreadful disease. Marti, my prayers and thoughts are with you while you are going through this. how are you doing today hun? , Same sentiments to you. I admire that you can get relief without meds and have a fairly decent life. Many of of do not.
