The only other site I had ever frequented before PC was an MS site a few years ago. I was in the throws of a possible MS diagnosis and I was reaching out to find information. Unfortunately, it was not a good experience with a lot of hostile and angry people there. It was unfortunate and not helpful to anyone at all.

So, when I found PC, I was quite skeptical after my other experience. I was very quiet here for a long time, mostly reading and learning. I was watching the interactions between folks and I was pleasantly impressed with the supportive nature here.

It's only been a little over a year since I started becoming more verbal. I have found a wonderful home here and I love the opportunity to be supportive and helpful (I can't help it, I'm a born nurturist )

Being a member of PC has afforded me knowledge and information that has been presented in a very kind and loving way. No judgements, no demands. It has helped me to understand humankind more, illnesses more, and most of all, to understand myself more. I have made some wonderful friends here.

Thank you all for an experience that I will carry with me always, an experience that I wouldn't trade for all the tea in China!

Love & Hugs,
Jean
