Old Fool, I felt a little down this morning until I read your post. Yes, you hit the nail on the head, especially the points about stopping a D that is already in play and how *they* only represent pain now.
At first we have hope b/c I believe that is healthy. We need to go down this road b/c it is a road of discovery. No, I don't sign up to the almost BS point that we have "become better people". No, we have become *aware* people and that is good and that is why the trial is important.
But just as important is knowing when to move on for real. So many stay here, hanging on for years. They call it MLC or their partners sick. What I see is their self-esteem slowly being destroyed.
