On 23rd September 2011, we lost an active member of this forum. He'd had WG for some 25 years. During this time, arguably some of the 'so called' cures which he was exposed to, worsened the condition and shortened his life. It is with thanks to people like him that treatment has progressed. The early victims of WG were little more than Guinea Pigs.
Many of you on this forum will not have heard of Jack. His Leonard Cohen icon beamed out for 3 years. I don't think anyone on here ever met him, but on-line, he was very active and shared his knowledge and experience. Search 'Jack' and you will see what I mean. Below are links to a couple of his threads.
Whilst scanning them, it is also sad to see others such as 'lightwarrior' who have gone, to what we hope is a better place. Jack was no better or worse than anyone else but, perhaps, just stands out a little more to me. Also let keep Phil in our minds as he battles on.
I don't post on here very often nowdays (but do lurk) but this guy touched so many lives when alive, I'd just hate for him to be forgotten.
RIP Jack
