Sorry you are having health difficulties. I sure do miss the old days of BME when you were the guiding force. It’s not the same at all now without you. Please keep seeking out medical help as well as other types of treatment including psycotherapy. You can have a good life in front of you. I sense strongly that somehow you’ve given up on life to some degree. I don’t know why I feel this. I’ve never had visions or anything, but I feel I’ve known you for years; and you just don’t seem to be the same regardless of the pain/physical infirmity.

Fight back man! I love you!

I hope you’re well, Shannon. Between your latest posts, and your even more recent lack of posting has me a bit worried.

I want this comment to come out as positive as I mean it to.

Its crazy that someone like you has this happening to them.
I’ve never met you but from what I gather you have put a lot into the world you are in and feel you have a well explored perspective on life.

You have a sense of what is coming, and it must give a much grander perspective than many others will have. I always feel that when I get older my fear of dieing will cause me to pass even quicker.

Best wishes, I hope as I gain age I become as wise, knowledgeable, and as cool of a dad as you.

Shannon, we have never talked but I was a regular on bme till rachel took over.
I am currently finishing my last year before I become a PA. If I can help you out in any way… let me know.
As far as ari goes (and I don’t mean to be blunt) but if something happens to you…. does that mean she goes with bitchface? You’ve done such a good job… I would hate to see it ruined.

Nothing can be added to what’s been said I thnink.
Maybe just the example of Stephen Hawking, just unreal for any neurologist, including me.
The spirit is strong in you, and I hope to read your new bodymod stuff when your legal situation changes.

All the best, Shannon.

Hey Shannon, check Craigslist for Rv’s. My wife and I got a great deal on buying an older model. We’ve been living out of it (we lost everything due to job losses). It might actually be cheaper than renting one for the summer.

I have just gotten to know your work (including B.M.E) over the last year or so, however, I know it’s only been for a short while but you’ve been such a big influence and an inspiration. Thank you. All the best. :-)

Shannon, I have to say that you are one of the most positive and caring people out there. It is such a shame and a waste that your body is letting you down. I understand about how debilitating chronic pain is, my mums body is ruined, 2 false knees, crumbling vertebrae, dodgy hips abd various other problems have left her in constant pain and years of taking pain medication has left her immune to all but the strongest.

It shows how strong you are inside that you are still managing to remain positive and live life to the full and provide all the love and support that you do to Ari and Caitlin through a constant wall of pain.

Just echoing the sentiments of all your followers.

I hope that science and medicine can provide you with some kind of breakthrough. The world needs more people like you!

Oh Shannon…

What can I say that hasn’t already been said before? I’m thinking nothing really.
Although, thank you for inspiring me to get off my ass and live life. After Jason’s death I was so torn apart with grief I forgot how to “live” for too damn long.
Then I come here and read about this and how you manage to still live your life in spite of it all. Thank you for that, it just proves that in spite of how hurt you may be (physically/mentally or emotionally)it’s very important to live the life that you have for what it’s worth.

You’ve touched so many people lives including my own and that’s something that we will always have. Thank you for that as well. Your lovely ladies are very lucky to have you in their lives.

Keep on keeping Shannon, you can’t keep a good man down :)

What they all said!

Seriously, I hope you find something to cure this, or at least alleviate the symptoms.

Take it easy.

Hi Shannon, long time lurker and admirer. I am a massage therapist and interested in alternative medicine also. I work with several medical doctors, chiropractors…. Is massage contraindicated in MD? Is it too painful for you to bear? Massage can be a workout for your muscles and can be done in a way that may not cause you pain. Have you ever had a hair analysis? Been to a chiropractor? Had Acupuncture? Have you looked into alternative methods? Just would be interested to know if you have.You have too much in your heart to give up. Is your medicine wiping you out?? I am by no means a medical professional. I work with several people who have Parkinson’s and fibromyalgia, sarcoidosis, lupus. Very often they can get much relief from massage. The relief doesn’t last forever but they may get 2 – 3 days where they feel “normal”. There are many medical DRs nowadays who straddle both sides of the rail as far as traditional and alternative go. A person like you, with your spirit, with what you have inside you, with what you’ve done for a whole lot of people, shouldn’t give in. No need to answer, just wanted you to know many people are sending you their thoughts for healing. PS I am a painter too and enjoy your work very much.
