Re: success stories down the road...clarification

[Guest guest]

Someone wrote me offlist about my response, so I thought maybe I should

clarify to the list as well.

There was actually no offense taken. I know Barry well enough to know he

wouldn't discount anyone's experiences out here as insignificant. I probably

shouldn't have written my note at the late hour because I think it was too

abrupt. I just meant that although my experiences have been different there

are still some common threads in them and we can learn from those. I learn

a lot from those who have had countless experiences of intense crippling pain

for hours on end, even though my attacks have rarely lasted more than 30

minutes and have only ended up seeking medical attention twice. Then again,

I have a tendency to be stubborn when it comes to pain, partly because I've

dealt with stuff that was worse and longer lasting than the GB stuff.

So...I'm not likely to go to an ER or doctor anyway! That's just a little

defect of mine, I suppose ~grin~.

So anyway, - I apologize if I gave the impression I was offended by what

Barry wrote. He was just sharing his own story, which is vastly different

than mine. (And he knows how grateful I am that I have mine instead of his!!)

What works for me doesn't work for Barry and yet there's still a lot that we

have in common that keeps us communicating.

That's one of the beauties of these email lists - the strength comes from the

diverseness of the members, I think!

Hope I cleared that up!

in health,

hehehe - you'll know when it's actually our first fight. I'll be sure to use

bold print so there's no mistaking it! <grin>

heck, how could I fight with you, Barry, you're like the brother I never had.

Okay, well the 3rd brother I never had! You and I are like the Yin and

Yang of flushing - total opposites and we're here to bring out the spectrum

of the flushworld!

And one of these days I'll catch up on my email....honest!

,

You know from my viewpoint that there is not bad intentions taken.

You are truly one of my friends on this list and I really enjoy the

off-line communications that we share together.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't want to think this was

our 'first fight' or anything. haha

You know that we understand each other very well and the poeple in

this group may not understand what we have been talking about all

along. Anyway, thanks for being a great friend.
