What? I meant your CF being unfortunate, not your recovery. I don't think anyone would say a recovery is unfortunate. Sorry if I was unclear about that, it was not my intention. To my point though: if your posts have become increasingly bitter as people stop listening to you...why keep posting at all? That was my point. I'm a diehard Windows Phone 7 fan, but people on HN decidedly do not like WP7. I tried to defend it for a long time but simply stopped, because no one listened to me or cared. I don't go into iOS/Android threads and post bitter comments about WP7. It isn't productive. So that's a silly analogy (obviously, phone operating systems != life threatening disease), but the substance of my point is the same.

I have made every effort to avoid arguing with people about this. It has basically left me no outlet for discussing it at all, which is something I very much need. This is a big part of my life. It is not going to go away. Being suffocated by having zero outlet is, at this point, a bigger problem than engaging in debate with people have zero intent to be supportive of my need to talk about it. I wish it were not so.
