Default Thanks to all of you! :)

Just wanted to say a great big thanks to everyone who posts. The PCS world is lonely and misunderstood, and when I first found this forum I literally sat and cried as I skimmed through the threads. (I still couldn't read very much at that time.)

Also, thanks for giving me a safe place to attempt communication once again.

I have learned and am still learning much.

You guys are great!

Default Ditto!

Katie I felt much the same way upon discovering this group. The breadth of experience and willingness to share is amazing. I don't "know" a single person here but feel much more comfortable talking about my challenges and frustrations here than with most family! Good luck to you and all the very best!

I agree, Katie. I'm new here as of today and feel the same way.
This is the first place I check when I allow myself computer time.

This place helped me through my year+ long recovery - it can be such an isolating experience, but its my firm belief that communication and community can help ameliorate at least some of the stress.

Default And thanks from me too

It's my birthday, and I have been thinking of nice things to do today. So, here I am on the forum at nine in the morning. I think that tells you something. We need each other. CS
