Day one reflection on the Treatment Symposium....a little delayed

Well, it seems the technical issues are resolved and the blog is able to be accessed again…yay!  I thought for sure it was user error on my part, but thankfully I can say it wasn’t me.  That being said, day one was great.  I felt like there was a lot of information covered in a short amount of time.  We received a lot of the ‘what’ and ‘why’, now I’m looking forward to the ‘how’ today.  It is apparent this could easily be a two week forum with all of the information that is available, but I’m grateful to have the couple of days that we do have.

I’m still processing a lot of the information received yesterday, but I think the standout moment for my personal self was when Nelson Vergel spoke during the first session of the treatment symposium.  Having suffered some of the metabolic issues related to treatment and fully feeling the physcological impacts in my own life, it really hit home.  I hope I get the opportunity to thank Nelson in person while here; the work he has done advocating has directly affected my daily life.  I recently underwent Sculptra treatments and have had an immediate lift to my self esteem and emotional well being.  Without the efforts of Nelson and others like him it’s likely the gap in treatment for such issues would not have been filled.  I look forward to learning more today in hopes that I can work to further fill in the gaps and keep the fight alive to ensure others get the treatments they so rightly deserve.
