Ditto what Azoyizes said!
This is a fabulous bunch of down to earth folks who are all here together to help/learn/support and grow from one another.

If you feel comfortable giving a brief synopses of yourself and any pain condition(s) you may be facing, or just want to connect with others with something in common......we'll be happy to show you around.....or even just browze thru the forum topics and peek in wherever you feel inclined.....

Glad you've found NT!

i ditto the ditto. welcome to NT.
there are many forum options here. one to fit just about anyone.

if you just post on one of them people will respond the way they did here.

It can be a good place to me if you need help, but, we can't steer you to the right forums or info if we don't have any clues as to your problems!
No one is nasty here [as in other sites] and we all try to help in our own ways... but only if you can tell us what sort of issues you have.
You can read thru the whole list of forums [worthwhile and mind-enlightening of course] but also doesn't help you get started on learning more about what might or might not be your problem NOW.
Just give us the shortest, sweetest summary you can? And we'll get you to meet [on-line, of course] some wonderful and brave folks who have walked similar paths or even in your shoes! Who knows?
We are here for you if you want us to help! - j

PS it takes a lot of courage to do that first POST! My first post? I was sweating bullets! But, I kept at it! And learned LOTS and it's helped me more than can be imagined!
