Thanks for posting that.
The fact some are doing very well gets lost.... because the success stories usually don't stick around and post with any regularity.
A friend of mine's line about researching ANYTHING, health related in particular, on the 'net and using forums and communities is something I believe:
"There are no happy stories to be found just scary dark ones..."
The slant will always be to the negative because there is more of a human need to give voice to the negative than to positive.
I believe the trueness of the postings of failures and it saddens me. I also myself KNOW the nonposting of successes still makes them true as well and that makes me feel good.
