Here is what one of our members, Val,
had to say about being a member of COFWA:
TOP 10 REASONS WHY I JOINED COFWA
10. I learned the correct pronunciation of my condition -
ARACH - NOID - ITE- IS. 9. I finally receive more e-mail than my kids! 8. I understand now why my e-mail comes equipped with an "address book". 7. I realize some of my strange and unique positions to make myself more comfortable are NOT so strange and
unique! 6. I know now what AOL stands for "ARACHNIAC'S ON LINE". 5. I found out that an infusion pump is not something that runs when I get water in my basement, & a stimulator
is not an answer given by Dr. Ruth! 4. I finally can converse with individuals about my medical condition without answering to "what is that?", "why
do you need this?", and "why can't you do that?". 3. I found out I'm not the only person whose idea of an AWESOME DAY is having a pain level of 6. 2. I now believe a physician has to earn my respect RATHER THAN I have to respect my physician because of what
he earns!
AND THE #1 REASON WHY I JOINED COFWA IS...
I found out that Arachnoiditis may effect our spine and central nervous system - BUT OUR HEART MUST COMPENSATE
for this because I haven't met a better group of individuals with LOVING and CARING HEARTS as these
"ARACHNIAC'S"!!! |
