As a "newbie" myself.....I was initially reluctant to reply too. You aren't alone I'm sure. I get SO much out of posts from others. I'm like a sponge with all this new info, med's, terms, symptoms, feelings, etc...I started replying to certain posts only because I had questions or some experiences relational to those others were writing about. Don't be afraid, just jump right in. All this is for YOU right?!
