For Caroline

[Guest guest]

Caroline,

I have not been on the list much at all lately, but I felt I just

had to answer your post about dropping out. For all practical

purposes I dropped out awhile back as I just couldn't take all the

references to christianity. I have nothing against religion for

everyone else, I just don't like it when others keep trying to win

converts on a group list meant for everyone with fibro.

The degree to which you have fibro is totally beside the point - you

have it! I have it too. Your notes on the lists have been so

helpful to many of us and it would be very sad indeed if you stopped

posting them. From the start I have felt that you were either in the

medical, counseling or some related field. This is needed so here

and I'm sure a lot of people beside myself have benefitted.

Not having been diagnosed until I was almost 80, is probably the

reason my symptoms are not as severe as others on the list (I'm

81 now), but they are severe to me. I just keep pushing myself and

doing whatever I can. Having been diagnosed with celiac disease 3

1/2 years ago hasn't helped as a lot of my time is spent baking bread

etc.

Please keep posting and helping us,

Margaret B
