S’up mas benches

😮 😮 😮 😮
I feel like a prarie dog…poking her head up to scout for danger….coast seems clear for now.
So, much has been thrown down. Peoples feelings are getting wounded left and right.
I just want to say that if it weren’t for the many wonderful people on this forum sharing with me…i would have no “support system” to speak of. I don’t have a ‘special someone’, my best friend of 15 years died last fall, and my parents have never been emotionally supportive…In fact the crowning achievement of my ma was for her to tell me, at my lowest,weakest and sickest point that if my CIDP continued affecting me like it was, that they were going to put me in a nursing home…at 29 years old.
ANYWAY
You all have been here for me when NoOne else has…To speak words of encouragement, suggest ideas which had not occured to me, use this forum as a sounding board for all of my gripes and frustrations…and generally give me encouragement and support which came from nowhere else.
Please, Please, don’t ever let someone else’s negativity make you abandon this place….
Had i not found this board, my initial year or two after being diagnosed would have been WAY tougher to deal with…
So, GREAT for you who “don’t use this forum for support” because you have people in your lives who are your support system….
Some of us aren’t so lucky, and thankfully, this place helps provide support-and is a sounding board for all of the tough crud which comes along with the diagnosis of CIDP. THANK YOU for being here.
