A HAPPY POST

Hi to all my friends, I just want to say since i joined this forum a few years ago its gone along way to re-install my faith in human nature, When i was diagnosed in 2014 i thought my world had come crashing down, I accidently came across this forum and to be honest have never looked back, Yes its great that i have all the fantastic support from family and am doubly lucky to get incredible support from work my boss told me nothing would be to much trouble which without that i wouldnt have been able to carry on working.

The one thing i find is being able to talk to fellow sufferers has allowed me to vent my frustrations on a particularly bad day but the main thing for me is not having to burden my family all the time when i do feel down and in pain i can just post and to talk to other people in similar circumstances i find understand so much more even than the medical professionals and can offer valuable advice on so many subjects.

So from me a massive thank you to you all and hope you are all feeling well today

Cheers

Thank you for your uplifting post, Phil. Even if just one person is helped, then a forum has served its purpose. I believe this one has helped many more. All the best to you.
