I've got to get a new mail formating program. Most of my last post was
lost in electron purgatory. So I'll Repost: Bryan you said: "False hope
is unethical too in my opinion but this really takes the cake!!!!!!"
Bryan I agree with most of your last post but, please define {False
hope}. Also in a past post you said: "Has anybody got a story that would
be the least bit encouraging about when I might get back on my exercise
bike and lose this terrible gut I've developed over the summer? ;-}"-Are
you not looking for hope?-And again:-"I am torn between my knowledge
that a positive attitude can do "miracles"and the reality of reasonable
expectation? Where does giving in to one alter the other?!"- And lastly:
"I an not in the study because it is deemed impossible for me to go off
all other meds --oh well --next time --maybe there is some hope out
there".--Again Bryan please define False Hope. P.S I guess I am flaming
you, so by all means flame back. Your fellow sufferer Dave.
