Unfortunately, the only thing you will not get is the cure. You may even not get better but you will find sympathy: some sensation of relief, understanding, as you get together with people who can understand you perfectly well and, at times, teach you how to deal better with the symptoms of your disease.

You may laugh and cry together but always with a deep feeling of mutual respect.

If you have never been to a group, we invite you to try. It will probably surprise you.

Even if you are now symptom-free and living well with the disease (and most people in the group are) your participation will provide you the opportunity to become of great help to someone else.
