Hello lainy46,
Welcome to NeuroTalk
Sometimes if you don't check the "Remember Me" box next to your User Name on Log In, then posts can be lost as they time out. I've done it myself from time to time.
I'm sorry you lost your long post but hope that you can find some information and support here.
There is a
Forum Search Feature if you've not found that already. You can use keywords to search all forums or a particular forum.
