A public THANK YOU to Dr. Dake
Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2009 2:54 pm
Lost in amongst all this hysteria a little is how much good Dr. Dake has done, how much he cares and has essentially stopped everything else going on to help MS patients.
Being at the vanguard there are of course risks and ups and downs.
It looks like its going to take a while now for those who weren't in the first round and I feel for you all.
Waiting is torture and to have a potential game changing treatment known but just out of reach must feel terrible for some.
BUT the genie is out of the bottle, it won't be put back in easily and as more and more work comes out in Europe, Canada and elsewhere the wave will build.
I know that's not what people want to hear necessarily but there is hope. The truth always outs.
So thanks everyone who's risked this early, thanks Joan, Marie, thanks Melissa for trusting me and trying it and most of all thanks to Michael Dake for his hard work and compassion.
The popularity of this board has exploded and I barely recognise any of the names any more so I don't know where a lot of you are up to but good luck in your fight against this congenital venous condition and be well all.
I'll see my homies on bookface and update at 1 year for Melissa (July 7th 2010).
I've not logged in to TIMS in a while and just noticed a number of PM's - I won't be checking this anymore and the email alert system doesn't work so if I don't get back to you I'm not being rude, just moving on.
I wish the same for all of you too.
