I look forward to being educated by many. I also would like to help others. I do not want to be a perpetual complainer about symptoms.... so, I am open to what ever suggestions that, may help better my situation. By sharing my story and asking questions I hope that I too can reach out and touch others.

Welcome Chameleon. I am glad you found us. Please feel free to read through the threads and jump in when you feel like it. If you have a question on a particular subject you can use the search box at the top of the page. That is a wonderful tool. This is a great group. We laugh, we cry, we vent and we share. No one is a perpetual complainer but we do occasionally have pity parties. We also support and help each other. I hope you enjoy this group as much as I do. If you have any questions or need help please feel free to pm me or any of the other lleaders. Again Welcome.
Favorite Poem :
It is such a relief when you first find out.
That the pain really does have a name,
And then you will ask (and everyone does),
"Just where can i place all the blame".
No matter the limits, no matter the pain,
There's no evil, cruel "Master Plan".
It just simply happens, It just simply is.
You adapt, and you change what you can.
But even with the knowing the best and the worst,
All the pitfalls the future could hold,
You still have a choice, you quit or you fight.
You determine the story that's told.
And every small step that we take, my dear friends,
Each battle that we slowly win,
Just credits the love and the caring we share
With the FMily that we call our friends.

Hi Chameleon, I almost didn't see you! lol

Sorry, we get kinda silly around here. I'm so glad you found us, yes we do whine and complain but we call that venting and you are to NEVER apologize for venting. That is what we're here for. Other things not to apologized for is typos or grammatical errors, we are not your teachers lol

Now, we love to have fun too, I hope you love it here but I am totally confident that you will.

Love,
Casty


We are NOT insane, we are in PAIN!

Who are the Jones' and why do we care what they think?

Welcome! Glad you're here....feel free to bitch, moan and complain right along with the rest of us, and then we spend the balance of time supporting one another's bitches, moans and complaints! We're definitely like one big FMily!
Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness.- Mother Theresa

"The Mystery of Pain" -Emily Dickinson-
Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.

It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.


I’m stuck in a body that is a prison and I’m going crazy inside my cell. -Me-
