“At least…this has been my experience and what I've gleaned about the whole process…and today I am having a 95% better day!!!!!!! YAY! It's been 21 long months of patience (sometimes not so patient!), faith and pain endurance, but soooo worth the wait!!!!”
These words were written by our beloved, Maz, in another post and worthy of celebration. Don't know what we'd do without you……you take such good care of us!There just aren't enough ways to thank you for thoughtful and informative posts. May you have only 95%+ days from now on…..kim :blush:

I echo what Kim just said. God bless you, Maz. Wish you will be in completely remission and will kick all these antibio out of your house. :roll-laugh:
I have to say, without every one's help, I will not be able to do the AP. Thank you for pulling me through and holding the candle light in the dark tunnel for me, to shine my way to AP.
I am also very grateful to the administrators of this board, Maz, Cheryl, and John who have donated their precious time to help out with questions; welcoming new members; offering shoulders to let us cry, vent; cheering us up when we made a small improvement. You guys really save a lot of lives and comfort a lot of lost souls.
Thanks,
Hugs,
JB
Hurray, Maz!
And yes I agree with a big thank you to all of you…
Richie, you're the man. Lynnie, Maz, Kim, Cheryl, John you guys are all amazing. And so many others of you have knowingly or unknowingly helped so many so much. I've gotten much strength from all of you.
I am grateful to all of your and pray for all of our healing.

Well said Guy's!
Everybody from the old timers to the newcomers who have paid it back and paid it forward…You're compassion, time, energy and patience is so greatly needed and appreciated!
So many people have commented on how amazing the support on this board is and I'd have to say this board is by far one of the best if not the best on the entire Internet!
Many, many people who were at they're wits end found their way here and were pulled up from the depths of despair by the incredible people right here!
Maz, Cheryl, John, Richie, A friend, Lynne G., Casey, Jennhere, Lynnie, Sue, Kim, Whaleharbor (I know I'm leaving so many out, don't be offended – you know who you are) and sooooooo many more!
Even the newbie's are giving back after having been helped here. It's so catching, the need to reach out here! It renews everybody's faith in humanity!
Take Care All and Know How Much you Mean To Sooo Many!
God Bless!

Maz,
That's terrific news and thanks Kim for starting this thread! Maz IS like Mother Teresa. The care and kindness she bestows upon everyone is worthy of saint-hood! Her healing wisdom and words filled with hope and encouragement pull many through difficult times! Way to go Maz!
Blessings!
Michele
Oh Lordie…you guys are toooo much!!!! :blush: “Mother Theresa”, Kim??? I tell ya something…you've given my hubby some ammo now! :roll-laugh:
Seriously, though, thank you, everyone…you're all such caring souls and I do appreciate that you share in my joy for better days, as we all do for one another!
…..but it must be said that it is really you amazingly inspiring people who show up here that truly make this discussion board so special. You've kept me going when I've felt like wimping out many a time, just to read of your courage and tenacity in the face of some of life's greatest challenges and to help me to see that I, too, am not alone while on my road back. I'm just so grateful that everyone who seems to come here sincerely wants to share in every agony and every success of every other BB member, no matter how large or small. It's such a gift to log in every day and to know that all the same smiling faces and all the beautiful new ones that arrive will be here to greet every new day…just like one humungous loving family all cheering eachother on.
There are some pretty spectacular people who work quietly and tirelessly, without anyone knowing who they are and what they do, for the RBF to ensure it is kept alive and well for us all. It truly is an amazing Foundation run by a brilliant team of dedicated folk who make every effort to keep things running seamlessly, while spreading the good news about AP and making sure that people who seek it are given every support. I think these unsung heroes and heroines all deserve one cyber hug of thanks. They all get the dude :dude:and dudette :dude:award in my book!
So, here's to us all – the RBF Family! A toast to everyone's health!
Peace, Maz

Caroline – on your recommendation 😉 I indulged in one of my favorite banana nut muffins tonight and it was simply sumptuous!!!! Thank you for that rx…you are now dubbed, Dr Caroline, Physician specialising in treats that do a soul good!
Peace, Maz
Maz,
I should now get the Dr. title too, I RXd that John take a walk on the beach by the ocean on Friday after he posted that he was “Crabby.” He told me that he intended to take my advice. All kidding aside, it is clear that the support and suggestions received here are medicinal although not medical!
Glad you enjoyed your muffin.

I noticed that when I got here a few years ago. AP is so slow and so unnerving at times that it is hard to get to the pay off without the encouragement of those who went before us; certainly true for me. And it isn't just the old-timers that make this BB special. AP actually works and so gives hope rather than resignation and means of coping. It also takes brains, hope, determination and courage to make this journey. It has been my experience that those sort of people (that is, y'all) are just plain wonderful. I am pretty much always attracted to the folk that post here and I have made many fast friends by now. That is a big achievement for a physicist. We do machines better than we understand people. So applaud yourselves as well. You are amazing.
Maz,
I just got home from a week in Boston, my daughters masters graduation and had to catch up on the board.I am so glad you are feeling better:D:D:D:D:DMe too:D:D:D!
I managed to walk everywhere in Beacon Hill and took a cab only once with the family as it was raining. And what I can't even believe is that the RAIN did not even give me joint pain:roll-laugh::roll-laugh:Thats a first. Remember lyme sista, we are gonna rid ourselves of these nasty little critters!!
You Maz, have been my inspiration so I may be celebrating a little late, but hey I am happy just the same for your 95%normal day.
Peace & Happy days!!
