I still believe that this is an electronic support group for people with
Transverse Myelitis, of varying degrees of severity, but all of us are
going through it. Maybe some people can't handle reading about it every
day, and want to get on with their lives. Others may have recovered or
finally been able to cope with it, and no longer need "support". Whatever
the reasons may be, it's okay. We do gain knowledge in "comparing ailments
and medications". I, for one, feel better knowing that there are lots of
people out there that are getting along. Some days, I am so disappointed
that I woke up and have to face another day, and then I get my mail, and
think, "if they can handle it, then I can too".
As far as the "problem" of taking too much online time to sort through the
mail, I have no problems. I log on, grab my e-mail, am offline within one
minute, then read my mail at my leisure. Do not have to be online to read
it.
I do not plan to "unsubscribe", as long as Jim Lubin is gracious enough to
keep this list going, I will continue to read the mail. I gather lots of
information, so with each visit to my neurologist, my time with him is well
spent. I am still trying to get him to agree to let me have physical
therapy, because it seems the more I do, the more damage I am doing. I
think as long as my insurance company pays for it, I should be able to have
it. So far, it looks like everybody else here still has P.T.
Anyway, I am rambling again, so time to sign off. "Keep those cards and
letters coming".
