Please, first and foremost we must always remember to support one another. The people here are wonderful about doing that. Best wishes and good luck to everyone.

You are absolutely correct....the people on this site are positively, absolutely, definitely wonderful in every way. I spent five years not knowing any LC survivor and then found the Mayo site. It is beyond heartening to finally learn that many people understand and are willing to "listen" to what the rest of the world seems to have forgotten or at least pushed aside. Being able to read postings at any time is uplifting because it is like having friends available 24/7. I chose not to enroll in a local world-renowned hospital's LC "clinic" after learning it was only a data collection center in order to prepare for the next epidemic. To get to that location required feeling well enough to drive through heavy city traffic, locate difficult parking and walk a long distance to reach the clinic...not for this breathless, arthritic 79 year old cancer patient on a cane. I've not heard of any medical facility actually "curing" LC while some individual doctors may offer more improvement than others via trial and error or sheer luck. We have such a wide range of symptoms, even though some symptoms are universal, that we ALL are our own best hope, best source of information and the most understanding of one another's plight. Physically we may never be the same as pre-Covid. However, we have one another to lean on, learn from, feel appreciated by and be heard. For all those reasons, we are a very special group of caring individuals who uplift one another. Sometimes it comes down to one human caring about another human...that's US!!! Only those who have LC understand others who have LC. Learning from this site and hugging you all lifts spirits!
