I haved lived with them for over 20 years. Now I am chronic. But, you have to draw from that strength within and when it is not there...we are here for you. I promise you that you have not been given a death sentence even though it may feel like that rite now. You learn how to fight the beast, you learn how to survive. You search and you search for a way to beat him. You don't give up. I rememeber having the same feelings you are having now...I remember cause I have felt them recently. But I know, because of the people here, that I can make it. Lean on us, learn from us. You will find so many ways to fight this. People here will share with you what worked for them...you will try those ways..you will find what works for you. Just don't give up. Think about all the people out there fighting for their lives with cancer, Aids and other life threatening diseases..and know, that the beast will not kill you...We are the most fortunate people in the world because we have each other..So when you feel weak, get on this board and vent, tell us how you are feeling. Know we care and believe me, you have a family here that you will not find anywhere else..Oh, by the way, thanks for your post cause you gave me a reason to fight today. I am here for you if you need me.Oh, there are alot of people on this board that are pain free..you will find what works for you...just keep the faith.. smiles, nancyc
