In between the jokes you can look forward to poems, stories of love and courage, tried and true personal advice on getting through the day, a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of available medications and surgery, tips on nutrition, guidance in the latest techniques to manage and alleviate symptoms and recommendations on alternative therapies. On top of all this, you'll learn how the U.S. Congress works, the state of medical technology and a smattering of foreign words and phrases. When you are feeling good - contribute your stories . . . but when you are feeling "gloomy and doomy" and have anxious thoughts share, them with your new friends . . . . we're here to help each other. <big hug> Stephan 52/6
