I would just like to say I want to thank everyone here for all the advice, encouragement and care given to me.From the first message I received. You are all so brave.You cannot imagine the courage and hope you have given me when I was in a bad place.I have taken the advice you have given and feel like a new person. I still have a difficult journey in front of me.But because of you, I know I can beat this.Best wishes for excellent health. I hope one day I can come on here and give someone the comfort you have given me.
Hi Ele, brilliant to hear you feeling so strong and positive x.Thank you for such an affirming message. Like you I found this forum feeling vulnerable and alone and certainly not brave. Somehow sharing experiences can be like waving a magic wand over the fear and unknown. After reading feedback from fellow travellers who were healthy, enjoying so many simple pleasures in their lives, I could rebuild my spirits. Keep us posted on your progress. Big hug Hx
Hi.Yes feeling so much better thank you.Glad you are feeling better and yes it is like a magic wand being waved over you. I know loved ones are a rock but people who have been through this truly know how we feel.I Will keep everyone posted a long way to go yet but I will get there.x
