Welcome to Neuro Talk. Yes, that is the reason we are all here on this site. We definately try to help each other through all our medical problems. I came here two years ago in a state of panick over an upcoming surgery. I found compassion, friends, and lots of information on my condition. Please feel free to roam around the boards and talk to anyone. There is also a pain forum. If you have a specific diagnosis, you can type that in under the search bar at the top of the page. That will bring you to that forum. I never left this site, as my medical conditions are not going away, so I still come back as often as I can for support. Hope you stick around, and meet us all. Welcome again to NT, we are glad to have you here. ginnie
