look forward to reading through the archives, and hearing from

> Hi Elliot...welcome to the group. My name is Nora and I'm one of
only a few members who suffer from Wernicke's Encephalopathy. Most
of the group members are family members/friends of sufferers of
WKS. A lot of them are only on here on weekends so be patient.
They will answer. I don't usually talk a lot...only to comment on
something someone else may say in here. If you want to know my
story you can check back through my messages in the archives at the
group site. For now, just know you are not alone and hang in there.
