Dear Ellen

I have decided to bite the bullet and be the first to voice an opinion on this.

It is my husband that has mm He was diagnosed at the age of 53 in October/November 2008.

I hope that there is a cure found for mm tomorrow and that Stephen and I will both live to a ripe old age and then die at the same time and turn into…[Read more]

I am so pleased you are doing well David. Hopefully you won't have to Vasbyte for the next 3 months:)

Dai You are a brilliant wordsmith.

I love crosswords but can only finish the "easy" versions and as for anagrams??????. I would probably have more luck reading Russion (and before you ask I don't know one word of Russion)

Love from Gill

Dearest Min,

I am so pleased to hear from you.

Like Bridget I do not know how your post got missed, but I suspect it wandered into the ether for a while before it turned up here.

I (as one very selfish human being) desperately want you to continue posting, but that has to be your choice and whatever your choice you know we would all…[Read more]

Hi Ted

I am glad that everything seems to be going well for you. Long may it continue. It's great that you are keeping busy. I don't know what part of the world you are in but we have had a very warm day in Orpington Kent.
I think it is Mother Nature's way of saying sorry for the aweful summer she dished us out:-)

All the best Gill

Dearest Bridget

Thank you so much for your post. You know the phrase and you used a little bit of it "It's not over til the fat lady sings". Well the lady tonight who sang opera was not fat. She was youngish, pretty and of course I hated her on sight:)

The only complaint both of us had (obviously only to each other) was that the sound…[Read more]

Welcome from me too Peter. Although like everyone I am sorry to see you on this site, but your story does give a great deal of hope. If my sums add up you have had this horrid mm for 7 years and you are still, not just amongst the living but among the get up and carry on brigade.

Long may it continue for you

Dear Jet

Like every one else I am pleased that you have good news and hope your remission lasts a long time.

Like Dai I too have gained enormous support from others on here and, hopefully, will continue to do so.

I agree that mm is a hard and sometimes very depressing illness and some of us do need an outstretchced hand to help us.

Hello Linda

Great news Liz. Long may it last.

Plaesed to hear your news Gin. Give you mum best wishes from all of us Gillx

Dai you have put all of that in an incredible way. I so hope that Min reads your message, and all of the other posts and stays in touch.

I feel that, although it is this b****rd illness that brought all of us together in the first place, we have all become friends. As well as discussing mm we go further. Whether it is stories of our children,…[Read more]

Dear Min

I have no idea of how you feel right now and for me to say sorry is pointless. I think that is a given statement anyway.

Please don?t leave this site. We all need people to ?prop us up?. None of us are so misguided to think that the ultimate end is not going to happen to us. I, for one, lay awake at night and try to believe that…[Read more]

OK Tom I meant a place that is further North but not as far as my waist;-)
but I didn't think the naughty word police would let it get through.

Off on a tangent in the early hours of the morning and seeing Roz's word JIFFY which left FFY I was reminded of the fact that I have always been useless at spelling but could spell 2 words with complete ease. You will have to get your own rhythm

Dai Thank you so much for the poem. I never could get into the Lord of the Rings books so I would never have seen this.

Min. What a wonderful discovery that was and probably painful too. I have read your post over and over again and, although it has made me cry buckets, thank you so much for posting your find.

After 40 years he is…[Read more]
