So again, welcome-sit back-take a deep breathe and know we are all here for each other to help with daily difficulties, questions, and concerns." - "Glad we all found this site." - "I am so glad to have found all of you!" - "We all need to talk and there seems to be so few families dealing with this that this is truly a Godsend!" - "I am SO SO SO glad that you've found us. This support group has been the saving grace for many of the members here, including myself. It's a support, wonderful community where people truly care about helping each other.

This is the first time that I have felt welcome at/on one of these Internet support groups. I feel like I have come home. This is a wonderful group of truly caring people. I've tried other supposed online "support" groups and they usually end up with bickering and fighting and not even dealing the issue at hand. I have learned more about my disease in the short time I have been here than in the last 15 months. I am now more at ease because I feel I have a place to go for answers to any of my questions, no matter how silly they might be. Sincerely, I thank you all." - "Welcome to the group!! I know that you'll feel better soon. You've made a wonderful choice just by seeking us out."
