We all have different questions and helpful tidbits, and yes positive thinking, humor, sympathy, compassion and exchange of information are all a part of this list. I dont know what you expected, yes there are sometimes alot of messages, and I delete most of them after I've read them, but I also save quite a few to my hard drive and print them out while off-line. (on line time costs me 4.50/hr). I send them out to the only other person on this island who has pd, he lives on a sailboat. This is quite literally all I have. 5000 people on st john and 2 of us have pd. For me to be able to share these writings, med updates and asst bits with my friend is truly amazing. and to have this list avail for me is a life saver. So.... I hope you stay for a while and get or give whatever you need. With love, lisa, in paradise? [log in to unmask]
