Re: Hello and request for help! to Robin

[Guest guest]

Robin,

When reading through your answers on the motivational survey,

two comments struck me as being particularly familiar, and I

believe it is the same for many of us:

......so I end up spending a lot of time by myself.......

.....if you can't be out and about, you seem to be left far behind....

Boy, do those ring true! It saddens me that we become so

isolated by having this disease. The importance of the support

group becomes so significant. And I think that's why it is so easy

for us to bond with each other and make friends with other

members, who are really relative strangers....but not for long!

Thank you for sharing with us.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
