My name is Summer (Manager). Jeanette and Melanie are our Assistant Managers. We have another manager Melissa, who is on leave right now to finish her schooling but pops in from time to time.

I am only able to be online a couple of days each week as my health has been suffering recently. I do check my email as often as I can but when you post a note you will soon have a response. We have just completed rebuilding the group from the ground up and encourage members to post daily. We do not have any posting requirements but we all like to hear from each member to know how they are doing and stay in touch which helps us be more supportive of one another. Please don't be afraid to post, nobody will judge you and everyone here understands how you feel. Be sure to read and sign our "Rules" page.

If ever you wish to chat just email me privately or catch me on the "Open Mic" (our General Message board) and we can set up a time to chat. If you have any questions let us know and we will be happy to assist you.  If you are looking for information that we do not yet have posted on our Blog I or Jeanette can help you locate some.  If there is another medical category that you would like added let me know and I will check to see if we are able to.

Please head on over to the "Who Am I" board and let us all know a little more about you. We do not use a person's real name unless they say it's okay as your screen name is to ensure your privacy and we will use that so as not to disclose your identity in any way. We are a "G" rated and family friendly group so we watch our language as there are several youth that drop in and visit us. The youth boards are provided for the younger members to discuss but any member can post on any board. Some of our message boards are only able to be seen by registered members so we do have a private discussion area. Our chat room is open only to registered members right now but we are planning on scheduling visitor informational chats in the near future so you may wish to "Register" for the chat room now and then you can access the Chat room whenever you wish.  Just click the link on the registration page and follow the on screen prompts.  Should you need extra help with registration, just "Email" me and let me know what problem you are encountering.

Again, our warmest welcome to you cindi1955!

Love, Summer
