I have been watching this site and it seems that no one has anything to say lately. I see some questions, one is mine and no one bothers to answer anyone. This is a good site. Is everyone on holidays?

" Hey Goldilox2,

Your not alone. LOL Or should I say I think 'we" aren't alone.

I now some other support groups I visit are slower as of late as well. With the nice summer weather I am hoping people are just plainly outside enjoying life versus stuck indoors at a terminal. Especially with it being bbq weekend aka the fourth of July here in the US I know a lot of people are out but you are right in that it still seems oddly slow.

I would have responded to your neuropathy question only I have no experience or advice. Next time I will at least say I am clueless but hope you find a positive answer soon! Sometimes it helps just to know you were heard you know?

In the meantime happy fourth of July! "

" Thanks Smith101. I guess I was getting a complex LOL I keep forgetting about your 4th of July, which is a big thing in the states, isnt it? I am from Canada and we just had our Canada day, which isnt as big as your 4th of July. I guess you are right too with alot of people on holidays and out enjoying the weather. I am mostly housebound, so I forget that people go out I find the heat really hard to breathe in too, so another reason I cant get out much during the day. Thanks so much for replying. Even if you dont have an answer, at least it makes you feel someone cares. :) "

" Hi

I am around most days. But I only have internet access at work and am a bit busy at the moment. I did not respond to your post since I don't have neuropathy and could not say anything useful. I did not want you thinking oh, someone has an answer for me, and then seeing my message which was not really helpful. I thought that might be disappointing for you so I didn't reply. "

" It is ok guys if you dont have neuropathy and have no idea what to do. It is just nice to even get a reply. I think this is a group for support, so even if we dont know the answer, we can still support each other :) "
