When I first came to this forum (at it's inception) there was all kinds
of support for each other - without debate.
My understanding was that this was a supportive enviroment, as well as a
wounderful place to talk about the resources that are available to us. A
place to lift each other up, not tear each other down. I have waited
awhile to write this because of not wanting to get in the middle of what
I prieceve to be happening.
When I come hear my hope is to be able to share my experience,strengh
and hope, as well as recieve yours without any condemnation cleverly
disguised as "helpful information." I know that, having to deal with the
medical professionals, can be draining. This place has been a refuge,
almost a place for renewal to get up again and begin a new day with
hope.
As a member of this forum, I want to be a supportive person, I want to
encourage, and I want to be gentle. I don't know about you but dealing
with this often misunderstood diagnosis can be like talking to a brick
wall at times.(our physicians)
