Thank you all for your encouraging messages.
Sheila I love your quote indeed we are all fighting some kind of battle..
Micheleu no I was not given a number just +++. I am curious as to why you think that high number is better as I do not really think that I agree with your analysis of why I am still NED, but who knows.. I noted that you went to seattle for vaccination, good stuff.
I love this board and the couragous ladies on here (actually the only site I log in), you americans rocks! I love the way no one accept to give up the fight, take action (with food advice ect..) Stage 4 NED in the UK is virtually unknown..
