All this talk of old times leads me to say: Hey, everybody, you (especially the newbies) are ALL valued contributors to this forum! I have been encouraged by the number of new people who come here and tell their stories: there is still a lot that we don't know about BEB and many of the newer people have had experiences that no one else has had or has talked about. Your specific experience is, many times, unique and gives everybody a new set of reactions and outlooks toward the condition. I'm continually amazed by how many different ways we experience and explain what's going on.I'm disappointed that I am not going to the conference in August. It sounds like it's going to be a good one, with lots of new people to get to know. Enjoy it, everyone who can be there. When you get back, tell us what you saw and heard.
