[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 787037, member: 88961"] My reply here is a general reply, not to this thread. Winnie, well done on bringing your numbers down. If you have been running undiagnosed for years, your body is likely to hang onto the higher numbers for dear life, and that could be impacting on the rate you decrease. However, to my main point. On forums like this, I think it's important to ask the difficult, sometimes uncomfortable questions, as they spark debate and passion, and really bring out some wonderful information. If we all sit around being nice to each other all day, we descend into a sea of blandness and apathy. Challenge is what brings progress, in everything. Sometimes the most difficult questions and challenges bring about the most profound results. Of course there are times when topics can be a bit too "left field" or deliberately hurtful or provocative, but they are usually dealt with by Admin (as well as some that are just getting going, in my view, but that's a whole different story). This place has given me a huge amount of support over the time I have been diagnosed, and I have learned as much here as I have anywhere else; from people who know what it is to live with this confounded condition. Of course, I appreciate people are often feeling vulnerable and perhaps very sensitive at their point of diagnosis, but in a forum with many, many members, not every thread or post will sit comfortably with all members. That situation in itself would be extremely unhealthy, in my view. Keep up your good work. [/QUOTE]
