Hi,

Thank you both for your posts. Just to let everyone know. Because of

the fact that we moved and the stupid movers lost our TV and then

returned it unworking I have not been able to acces my usual email

since Christmas. Please don't write to me at Sierra376 @WebTV.Net

till further notice. I can access and post to the group from that

address from any internet source but not private email. I am using

my parents computer. The email I'm using for now is Monterey35

@aol.com I broke them up as I typed since whole addresses never post

fully. Therefore some of you might not know the full address. Also,

I can't see other people's and since I can't reply directly I can't

write to anyone I don't see their whole address. I read and post

through the site not with direct mail. Just for anyone wanting to

know.

Although it is a good and logical suggestion it is useless to try to

educate my parents and boyfriend since they don't want to be

educated. For two years I did research on CFS since I thought I had

that and I sent tons of info to my parents. My mother read most of

it but would just disregard it with " no comment " or " I don't know

WHAT you have " , etc. My boyfriend wouldn't read stuff and what I

told him made no difference either. Now he's thrown me away cause of

my sickness and my parents attitudes are getting worse. This morning

my mother informed me that all my symptoms are those of psychosomatic

illness and that is what she believes I have. And she harps on just

one symptom--depression--non-stop. In the beginning I didn't even

have this symptom! She used to say I have a real sickness and also a

mental problem which was bad enough. Now that I have a positive test

to a real infection (Bb) now she doesn't believe I have it and that

it's all this mental crap. Why can't people get it? You have an

infection which does all kinds of terrible destruction causing all

kinds of terrible symptoms and some of those happen to be mental

ones. I am going to literally go insane from the abuse. I can't

stand it. Yes, they should all be educated but they just won't read

stuff and if they do they disregard it. It's like smashing your head

on a brick wall--it's too hard and thick to ever get through it.

Anyone in NJ getting snow? It's snowing lightly here in Freehold--

just a dusting.
