Joanne is great. I've talked to her and Laurie - they're both great!
They both gave me a lot of hope. They also both said they loved these forums, but you really have to be careful as there is a lot of non-DB advice given her as well, that would just push a MLC or WAS further away. But, overall, this is a great place.
One thing Laurie made me promise myself is that I won't make any major decision (like giving up and running away!) when I'm depressed or in a panic. Time is our friend.
