I agree with Casey 100%!!! I personally would love to see more of your posts on this board, Gerry! You would be an asset to the board, and you already have two people in your corner!
I'm sorry about your husband. I hope you had post about this in the living room so that we could can help you out with moral support and lots of hugs!
I have gotten my feelings hurt a few times myself...and have temporarily left the boards because I felt hurt. But then I realized how much I was missing out on, and I know I tend to be overly sensitive. There are loads of very helpful, lovely, empathetic people on the boards. Maybe whomever replied to you that you were complaining too much or whatever they said, was just having a bad IBS day themselves. I know when I don't feel good, I tend to get a bit snappy...on those days I try not to reply to anyone for fear of saying something I regret! But it would have been the IBS talking, not Beth!
I hope you stick around and post much more. I've been around since Oct. and I think this is the first time I've seen one of your posts! That's too long!
Welcome back, I hope!
