Hi All, I just happened to notice that my last post was number 1000. It made me think about this past year since Jan. '20 when I stumbled upon Connect as I desperately searched for ideas to help my wife Linda's neuropathy (I am her humble research assistant), and started reading and interacting with others. My experience here has been very helpful to both myself and Linda. I have learned a little bit about a whole lot of things (emphasis on "little" so take all my advice with one big grain of salt always!). Being here has made me aware of a lot. Reading and participating in conversation here has made me think, not just about pain and health but also about morality and ethics, attitudes and social mores of today's world, as well as about myself. I just want to say that being on Connect has been a big help to us and I want to say thanks to Mayo for sponsoring this site, as well as the people like Colleen Young and others who do such a thoroughly professional job overseeing Connect, and all the marvelous people who come here to both help and be helped, with advice and support.

OK, that is off my chest. And this is post is 1001. Best, Hank
