Debbie,
Thank you so much. You just made me feel like I returned to "family" with open arms. I really appreciate that so very much. I know I really found comfort here from day one. In fact last year, you all here inspired me so much that I found myself wanting to reach out to others, as you all did for me. I made a little page on a "Social Media" site and called it The Fibromyalgia Network. There were only a few people who would visit and it was nice. Again, a place where people in our situation could just connect and vent and share. Unfortunately, people I didn't really want seeing it, saw it. Though I know there really is no privacy in such sites at all. I grew to feel extremely uncomfortable with it all. Especially because they wouldn't participate in conversation, nor make their presence known and simply wanted to know updates on me Unfortunately I "deactivated" the page. Which really saddened me. It saddened me for me, but mostly the several others who DID appreciate the page.
Anyway..... I just wanted to share that with you because it was THIS PAGE "HealingWell" that brought me that inspiration. I am really glad to have found you all again. I DO have concerns this thread may be read by one of the people I spoke of before, as at first I shared it with her out of pure delight for all that you did here for me. In this case, I will have no way of knowing. I may just have to change my username.
Sorry for such a long post here Debbie :) ... I am so glad you are here and yes you are absolutely right... friendship DOES help pain. You've proven that. Thank you so very much. Have a wonderful "feel good" day!!! BIG hug to you.
