Default catharsis

Seems that this thread has had cathartic benefits. I loved and was moved by what the moderators and others without PD who don't visit here regularly had to say. I am thankful that I am not currently living with physical pain (a claim, I know, not every person with PD can make), and humbled to read about the sufferings and strengths of the wider community. The worse thing about living with a chronic illness, for me, is the isolation it brings. I have to fight to not let it cut me off altogether; NT is one place I can come to help keep me connected.
