That's it? Just to see who's lurking online?

What does a friends list actually mean?

Angela Wright said:Because things get incredibly heavy—not just for those fighting the illness, but for their families and everyone close to them—and because our society doesn't provide nearly enough psychological support or actual help, I decided to start this forum. I’ve been right in the thick of it myself, so I want us to have a space where people who have been through this, or are going through it now, can offer advice and pull each other up.

Post whatever is on your mind here. I promise I’ll always be around to reply, offer some advice, or just sit in the trenches with you. Sometimes being the caregiver or the bystander is even harder than facing the disease head-on.

I’ve lived through hell, and honestly, I’m still walking through it. No one should ever have to go through this alone.

Sending big hugs to everyone.

congratulations on the topic! I'll jump into the conversation if I can help anyone out...

vividcrane62 said:Now they're telling me it's not mumps, but something involving the lymph nodes... just asking as a layman here, can this be dangerous? And how did you deal with mumps back in the day?

It’s probably just some standard inflammation. Don't sweat it; it's nothing major. Pretty much like having a sore throat. 👍

Heh, I'm a Floridian myself. 😍

I've already scoured the web, so I'm just looking for actual personal experiences if anyone is willing to share.

Also, any practical tips on managing depression and anxiety would be welcome.
Thanks.

My experience was positive. Here in the States, this is known as Lexapro. I felt a little off at first, but nothing major.
