Jackie and Jack, Sometimes I'll read a line in something and "something else" will click in my brain - trying to think faster than my brain I guess. But if I don't put it down right then - it slips away. But that's the way we "brainstorm". Out of "different" takes on things we MAY come up with something.We're all DESPERATE for relief, so I think the brainstorming is great. Who knows, something, someone thinks is stupid may be the key to unlocking the mystery of CH.
Like Bob P said, I love you guys. This board has been my lifeline to sanity for a long time. I do try to thow in some humor periodically, because we become way too serious (and this IS serious) and I think a laugh, chuckle, or at least a smile does tend to put things back in perspective.
I've been chronic for almost two years and have been thru hell, so I DO get a little weird and ya'll are great to overlook that part, but I sincerely think we can whip this devil if we just work together.
Anyhow, thanks for letting me vent. Hugs BD
