*Hi Alton,*

*I think that what Jude is trying to convey, is that feeling that many of us
are overcome with in the beginning. For me , it was the loss of my jobs, my
loss of independence and my new dependence on others. It was a huge
transition, and yes, for many months, I did feel worthless. It passed, but
it took some time. It's a psychologically difficult situation for most.
For me it still is. I face more relapses in my future as there is
no successful treatment as yet, for Devic's. It's been in and out of the
hospital, paralyzed one time and blind the next. We don't all adjust in
quite the same way---and that's okaye. Jude was simply attempting to
protect some of the more vulnerable members. No harm was meant.*
