Re: About Feeling Better???

[Guest guest]

Phil,

I have said it before. I highly suggest you look into Pellets. They

may do you very well all things considered.

A month ago I was waiting in front of the labcorp clinic to get some blood

drawn. There was a mother waiting alongside her severly disabled son (he

couldn't even raise his head). It was humbling to think how much worse I could

have

it.

Best,

want to know when are we going to feel better some of us may never

Phil,

To help me cope with chronic illness like this, I've tried to think

that my illness has a purpose or is doing someone some good. If I can

help others who are sick in some small way, then it makes it easier to

take that I am sick. I definitely wouldn't have chose this path on my

own (being sick trying my best to help others who are sick), but maybe

God gave it to us for a reason. You can't really understand other

people's suffering unless you have went through it, and I think that

gives us a unique perspective and ability to help others.

You help A LOT of people here. Take comfort and satisfaction in that.
