Caroline,

I just want to say that coming to this site often and reading every post has really helped me with encouragement. It has also helped me to stay focused on the disease in a positive way. It is a learning experience here. Lot's of good info. It really helps the not knowing part. Trust me when I say this comes from my own experience.
