And was told that I needed to be a paying member to contact them ?
Please explain how I can contact people who have the same condition that I have ?
I'm an older person, and just want to conect with people who are dealing with the same problems I'm having
to give each other support and information
Thank-you ,
Elyana

Hi Elyana. If you use this forum to describe your condition and what kind of help you're looking for, folks who can satisfy those needs will reply. You'll probably "meet" some here with identical conditions and looking forward to sharing their experiences with you. If you find someone you want to communicate with privately, you'll figure out a way. Full membership isn't that expensive and is probably well worth the investment.
Wish you the very best.
Mike

Hi Elayna,
There are several ways you can contact folks if you don't have a membership. You could click on there name and go to their profile and send them a wink to let them know you are interested in talking to them. You could also reply directly to them in a "thread or post" like we are doing here. Then of course you could start a new post about contacting someone. There is also the chatroom, but that is a hit or miss unless you make a post about when you will be available to chat so others can be there as well.
I agree with iMacG5 (Mike) it is worth the membership if you visit often!
