 HW> Have just gotten my sysop to add this echo and am interested in

 HW> receiving this
Welcome aboard!  Glad to see someone else from this neck of the woods.  I'm
in Ardmore, OK, about 2 hours north of you.
 HW>   I participate in a support group in the
 HW> Dallas-Ft.Worth Metroplex area of Texas.
Can't think of the name right now and I'm too lazy to look it up, but I get a
newsletter from a support group in Garland.  Bet it's the same group.  One of
these days, I'm going to drive down there for a meeting.
 HW>   Fellow patients are extremely
 HW> pleasant and supportive as well as informative but the medical
 HW> profession is virtually useless in my experience--going all the way
 HW> from uninformed and uninterested to viewing our experiences as all in
 HW> the mind.  I have also found a few charlatans who proport to be
 HW> experts--in my experience their field of expertise is  talk and billing
 HW> the insurance till its maxed out.
Most of us have learned that you have to pick and choose carefully, who you
listen to.  Hopefully, you'll find a lot of good information here in
POST_POLIO.  Tom McKeever, the moderator and originator of POST_POLIO has a
lot of excellent files about PPS.
 HW>  Would like to find out what else
 HW> is happening in the rest of the  USA
There's a new network called HandiNet that is focused on disabilities.  If
you can interest your sysop, he can get the information and application
packet from me at 1:19/131.
