Unhappy Please don't give up on us...

J-

I hope that when you say you aren't going to post on this blog anymore, you just mean this particular thread.

I know that you're going through such a difficult time, and being in extreme pain for so long definately takes it's toll. And the one's you're counting on to take care of you aren't doing their job; it's not right and it's not fair!

But please don't give up on having a support system in place...even if you don't find what you need from us, please keep looking until you find the right "home" for you; your continued medical problems are exhausting and frustrating, and it really does help to have a good group of people that understand what chronic pain is like. Please hang in there, and keep us posted.

Very Sincerely,
Jess
