Hey, P,
It's totally cool to ask all your questions! We all started somewhere as newbies and not knowing anything about this crappy disease. This place has tons of forums on all kinds of topics.
Don't feel out of place, shoot, when you think about it, NONE of us
belongs here— no one banked on getting a disease that messes with virtually every part of us at every minute. It doth sucketh and there is simply no getting around it!
This Stumble Inn is where we come to mess around; a lot of us have had this disease for a lot of years and just can't take it so seriously anymore. Sometimes, just thinking about it drives me nuts. I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that every day presents us with issues we don't understand or like. Each day also presents us with opportunities to build on the positive, the humor, and our relationships.
Just jump right in, dude, the water's warm!
