Group Dynamics - and hoping Jodi stays

May 24, 1999

We've been through this before, I hope we can make it through it again. I

think whenever you get a large group of people together, you are bound to

have controversy. And as someone said, I think we get cranky and ornery from

our lack of sleep.

Personally, I am happy to be a part of this group - warts and all. I

suffered through RLS for so long as a child without knowing what it was - and

certainly without knowing that anyone else in the universe had it. I am

almost thrilled whenever I read a letter from a new member that says " I

called it this tickle in my leg " I knew just what she meant.

I've " met " some wonderful people through this group. And yes, the bickering

gets a little old. And there are as Jeanne said, a few sharp tongues that

seem to stir up trouble. So I delete. And delete. And delete. But in

between, I get information, laughs, and compassion. So it's worth it to me.

I just get so much comfort from knowing that other people know what I'm going

through

I had a bad RLS attack last night - worse than I've had in a long time. Not

too many people outside the group would know what I meant by that.

I hope the group can survive this.

I truly hope that Jodi will stay on as moderator, list owner, whatever - but

I won't blame her if she choses to leave. But I really, really, really hope

she decides to stay.
