Hi vortex,
I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Having just found a community, I can't imagine what it would be like if it was taken from me. Are there other groups that you and your friends can merge with? Maybe its an opportunity to find other people who feel the same pain as you? If not, let's look for a new home for your group. Facebook might have private options?
Also, you aren't gross or smelly to me or to anyone that I will associate with. You are someone who suffers from an actual bone-fide documented ailment. I respect that you live with something so challenging and painful and face it with such dignity. Chin up.
