      From MalenaS October 20

      Welcome! I just read your profile, and it seems we have a lot in common. There are a lot of nice people here at DS. You'll also find a lot of information which I have found to be very helpful. The support from those individuals going through the same thing is invaluable. I hope DS can help you in your fight against chronic pain.

      Let me know if you would like to be friends, and if I can help you in any way.

      Take care,
      Malena
