I noted on your profile that you have been on Compuserve for 20 years. I too started there and thoroughly enjoyed it. Gave it up a few years ago when the cost got ridiculous compared to the benefits. Have met up with all my old forum friends on Facebook. Thought I would give SheWrites a try. Best wishes on your fight for good health.
