Guest guest Posted April 1, 1999 Report Share Posted April 1, 1999 Hi everyone! SUSANNE, thank you for your response. My list of questions (slightly on the sarcastic side), was my way of venting my frustration over the " mass exodus " taking place & their reasons for it.... I'm not going anywhere... I'm definitely not discouraged, quite the contrary, more determined than ever to get to know you (as much as one can over a telephone line) & learn as much as possible from all of you before I jump into the drug bandwagon. I for one don't think you are a chatterbox; I think you're great. DONNA, no, my feelings are not hurt. Well, maybe they were for about 10 seconds, or I wouldn't be human. But I'm NOT allowing someone's comment to SHUT ME UP. I don't know about the other newbies, but, I have never had any support from other RLS sufferers, because I don't know any. So when I found you guys, I had this overwhelming urge to write & write & write because I've never had this opportunity before. It was like someone removing a piece of masking tape from my mouth after years of painful silence. When one of you write that you're having a bad day/night, I knoooooow what you're going through.....It's not the same when non-RLSer tells me they're having a bad day. DO YOU GUYS GET IT?!! Another thing, it is so difficult to convey " feelings " in writing. I'm definitely better vocally. OH YEAH!! I almost forgot, I finally figured out what most of you are doing, I thought they were typo's. it's a sideways smiling face, isn't it? :) don't sweat the small stuff, life's too short for that.
