I'm sorry I bought it up. I can't seem to find my place here. Thanks Nikki for sharing, you're a wealth of knowledge. Lgelb, I get it you lost someone, so you think you know, you don't. I wanted to be just fleetingly hopeful. I was happy that there was even an article. Nikki got it, Spirit got it, Karen would've got it. Then there is your harsh light of reality . Nikki, God bless her, tried valiantly to lessen the impact of your statements. You just wouldn't catch the rope she was throwing you in the deep end. Nope, you had to make sure the people who are actually doing the dying here, understood it, this treatment was not for us. Are you still going to be pulling the next generation of ALS diagnosed patients threads of hope away, after we're dead. You can recycle all of your righteousness every 5years. Lift a glass, of course you're the only one here who can.(paralyzed humor, in case it was lost, on your healthy self) Here's to you, your correct, this treatment is years away from being used for any of us in any meaningful manor. If you think I'm mean, insulated your tender sensibilities. You eviscerated me. I will be banned now, but you'll continue to kick over sand castles.
