Glad you brought those things up, Margaret. It
sounds better all the time. Like you, I can't see
any really good arguement for not joining.
I can understand some who might have had a bad
experience in the past not wanting to become involved
in any organization, but not the majority.
What would we have here today if DJ hadn't been
generous enough to foot all of the bills involved
in setting up and maintaining a web site of this
size? All of us who felt alone and misunderstood
would still be just that. All of the people (like me)
who didn't have a clue about what medications could
help would still be in the dark.
Is there one person out there that can say that they
haven't gained in some way? And I don't mean those
without ch who have just stopped by for a visit.
If there is a reason that you haven't joined, please
share it with us. Maybe discussion will bring about
new ideas.
