Yes nj42086, exactly as nickolyko says, I could not agree more with, it really is the best advice you could start here with; to read as much as you possiably can, it truely is...I knew absolutley zilch; nothing - not even what the acronym iop really meant lol!! It's kind of embaressing now, BUT we all had to start somewhere, even the admins and senior members on here were newbies at some point on their journey...and I still have a lot to learn, and I am still learning as I like to read on here, I hope I always will as my own personal issues are gonna be with me for life...
I learnt everything I know about iops, from joining this wonderful family, and a lot more besides - they really are passionate, honest and careing people running and using this forum! Unforunatley, a rare breed in today's world; at times!
When I first joined here(Not under my current account I had another back then, my screen name was Scaty76), this place had only been up and runnning for just over a month or so, and I was very lucky they allowed me to join when they did, as they did not know of me at all.
At the time there was another site that I had applied to join with a name very similar to this one; and thats where the similarities end!!
That other site had not activated my request to join them at that time, which was a blessing in disguise as I soon realised that all was not as it seemed with the other said site...ONLY from all the READING I did on here, did I realise just how lucky an escape I'd had! I'm sure they would of took an overly trusting, slightly green newbie like me for all they could!
I don't know how much experience you have had with iops or other forums, but on here you can trust in the other members and the admins to help you. With all kinds of problems, its not just a place to find the experiences and opinions of people getting the medication they need, be it from there own GP or otherwise. Its so much more here...People really care, friendships are made for life and its a place where others will have been or are going through the same situation you may be experiencing yourself...maybe you have been struggeling with it all on your own...You don't need to do that here, not if you so wish!
Anyway, I wish you well and hope you find all of the above and more!
BTW, I think it was the fact that WhichBlair had a text come thru on a mobile phone(not an email), and WhichBlair couldnt figure out how they got the number or risk spamming about such things using a text message!? ...I just got a bit "mulder and scully" about it all, as it would have me worried like crazy if it happened to me! But I overthink these things, its one of my issues lol!
Takecare and see you around, nj42086!
