Hi everyone,
This is the best board on the web, period. No, it isn't the green trim, or the subject approriate ads on the right, or those funny little emoticons on the left (although I love those little guys
) ) - It's the people here. I love you all!
You were there when I needed you the most. You all saved my life. The supportive nature here is special, one of a kind. It's home in a way...although we all have our own homes. I've never seen your faces but feel as if I know you as family.
I was down. There were times when I needed to talk to someone or read other peoples posts just to be able to continue to feel better. I want to continue, and feel committed to help anyone here who needs encouragement or shared experiences.
I was as low as it gets, convinced of the worst... I had exercise intolerance where I couldn't walk 50 feet without feeling like I ran a marathon. The twitching was like a 9 ring circus...everywhere, especially in the calves. Yuk. Everything people are talking about here, I'm sure I had.
I'm much better now! Thanks to you, and your positivity and your care and spirit. I've been running and swimming and jumping rope. I'm not 100% but much closer. I'm just thinking - If I could do it, everyone here could and WILL do it.
I have developed tinnitus and am working on that. I hope that clears.
BTW I've been on the "tinnitus board" a little and it's so negative in comparison it has me running back "home" here. You try to infuse a little optimism there and people get on you saying that "there's no cure" "nothing works" deal with it etc. It's their mantra over there. Very negative.
I got homesick. Thank you everyone here. You're a special breed and I love you.
Take care,
Mark
