First Year of Good Care and Acces to knowledge ....

Hi Buddies ,
it is the same date when i registered my account on this forum , although , i started posting message a lil after registeration date but i was in touch with Sajid since the day one ,, .. i got soo much support not only from Sajid but to all of you as well ...  i want to thank you all for the support and encouragement that you gave me throughout the year , you people tried alot and found a little biti succes to get me out sadness and shock like situation of the loosing a friend ( Sajid ) ... Especially i want to Thanx Andy and all the moderators of this site for their support and encouragement , you people helped me alot as much you can and as much i want to have your help and support .. Thanx alot  ,, and the members who are in-touch and were in-touch with me throughout the year and in time i want their support and help and in time when i won't to visit or login on this site again , they helped  & encouraged me to come on site again ,  gave me strangth to come out of that difficult time when i was unable to understand wat to do and why i will visit this site again and  with which person i will talk ,......
 .... that was the time when i lost someone who left his foot prints in my life was the Sajid ( to whom i considered my best friend, to whom i can share all the worries and to whom with i can spend time in chat , bcoze he was also alone at home like me and was looking to pass time like me ) ... if i llok back , i can say that , i got knowledge, support, courage and strangth to this forum and wat i lost was the sajid to whom i first met on this forum ...  i remember when i asked him about my easy to cay (slim one pump) that was idle at that time ( i wasn't using that bcoze at that time i was having trouble with that like cyst and pain , i dont knew that its pump's fault or its fault in pricking needle ) he told me to give that a try and when i tried that worked super , since then i m using that one and putted back the huge one in drawer .. i was feeling very lucky to have a friend like i want to have , i dont know if i was his good friend or not but i know that he shared many thing and moments to me which he never mentioned on forum .... like one was the 14th august's celebration party at his thal center , he uploaded the pics next day to that but bfore that he shared video of his presentation that he gave at that occassion ... he never uploaded that anywhere on site and else where like youtube etc etc ...
He was soo caring , once he told me that Asim has replied to one of my message and he ( sajid ) wanted to me to say Asim that I (umair ) will believe only to see you in his jeep's off road  adventure pic ... that was super time i ever spent on internet and in life , you can say that SAjid was my First Friend i ever had ( on whom i trusted n felt free to share to wat i was going through ) ( i never had trusted on any internet friend bfore sajid ), he was the 1st person in 8 years of my internet history  who saw my home  , i never had that much trust on anyone else ( but after him i trusted on many others and i m glad to say that they never breaked my trust ) ...... May God Bless him with high rank in Jannah and his soul rest in peace .... i still remember his voice and his way to talk .... cant forget that guy with alot of courage ... May God Give's his family strength to bare this loss ...  i wanted to meet him in-person for at-least one time but i didn't manage to make this dream to come true .... all day long chats with prayer and meal breaks only ... discussions abt forum and wat to do for betterment of health and lots more topics , sometime it seem like it wasn't 5 months , it was more than that ... at that time i had only 3 contacts in my MSN messenger's list and i never felt alone , i always were busy in chating with him in that particular time ...

Recap :
Before joining this forum , i was searching for Ferrinil and i found only one result and that was Sajid's Post in which he mentioned that global pharma is producing that medicine ...

i contacted him to ask for details and he replied with details ..... then i asked him about mmy infusion system's probleme and he replied with compplete details  ....

His death and after that i was soo depressed and it was something unblieveable and it is still difficult to believe that he is no more with us ... i m still in search of friend like him but i know that this search will remain a searchh without any result .. i kow that i will no more lucky to have a friend like him ..... i cant write anymore ,,, its taking me back into past and in sad moments ... i still remember his words he posted in a thread in which i mentioned that i  lost one of my friedn of thal center he said " life is soo cruel " , yeah i experienced it life is really soo cruel ...... i wanted to write a full recap but dont have more strength to do this .... soo , ............

Note : I want to Thank you all to the bottom of my heart for being there for me when-ever i needed your support and help .. and i also want to Thank you all for the enocouragement and and the strength that you gave to get ride over Thalassemia and Thalassemia related issues .. Thanx ALOT buddies i m realy thanfull of you all ...

Hi ALL ( Zaini, Manal, Tariq & Sharmin ) .
Thanx Alot for wonderfull message and words of strength ,  i just looking back at past time and found that there're alot of moment and much time me and Sajid spent togather in chating , voice conversations and posting thread , like i almost all the time asked him that should this info is valuable or not?? to post and i several time asked him to post explaination wat i wana say in my thread like " watch and think about it " like threads and you can see his response , then once when i asked him to have a poll for Diet and nutrition board he said you may post a thread for this and when i did he return back to me after checking that thread and said " Umair , go an check that ,you forgot to cast your vote, and  i've casted the first vote in that thread and result is 100% in favour of this idea " wat i want to mention here is His response which were always soo supporting, caring, encouraging to share views , a few times i asked him to post a question on my behalf and he replied "its your forum buddy, feel free to ask anything  go ahead and post this " several times i sent him link to read and share on forum and he replied " good info buddy, you found this so you post this on forum " ... i still remember that after-noon time of summer when he introduced Tariq bhai to me to encourage me to convince me to join daily life and wat he wana say to me at that time was " come back in life and dont think that you ( i , Umair ) are idle person in this world " .... He Always Were like a big Bro ... several times i asked " Sajid i m gona annoy people , can you handle situation after that ?? " and yes he always were there to handle and to normalize thing , i remember once i posted something that was looking like a rude remark , and then he replied to that post and said " Chill umair, she is only appreciating your effort " many times i said him " Sajid , Forum is really slow today , wat do you think ( aag laga doun, kiya , mean's i wana post alot of research material and junk post like things ) and he always stopped me to poping-up the boards , that was a really super time , the best time in my life ,coze i had first and good friend in 21 yrs of my life ... i met him when i was really down and was the only one at that time who supported and encouraged me make a come back in life , At that time he Was the only reasonand source for me to stay-connected with this forum and now his inspiration/spirit is doing the same, ..... now i think you people will be thnking why i m mentiong Sajid..Sajid ... SAjid and Sajid ,  and answer is he helped me at time i needed help .. he was my first friend , a trustable friend ......... sometimes it really hard to look back in past and then controle your emotions ..... and in past one year i dont have anything that much special to remember  as he was ,,, He encouraged me to stay on here and to keep posting although i was making Eng mistakes in every post , he encouraged me and said "its not your native language Umair , soo dont worry about it and post wat-ever you wana post ,in your words " ... i cant forget his dis-hearted voice after he diagnosed with Diabetes .... sorry buddies, but its really hard to bare the loss of a true friend like him .... i dont want to remember more moments ,,,
=======================

thats wat i achieved this year ... and that's is something significant to me ....  and Yeah, sajid was the person who taught me alot and explained medical aspects of many things that bring interst my interest in maintaining and taking care of my self and he was the inspiration for me to do this as he was the 1st person to i met who was taking care of his self on his own efforts and doing the chelation 6 nights a week ... .. he was to whom i inspired and who told me that i can also do that wat he was doing ( Chelation with comliance ) ..... Thanx Alot Sajid , May ALLAH give you High ranks in Jannah .... Thanx Buddy ...

Andy , i cant forget you nad your efforts that you putt in that all ( Needles, Milk Thistle & IP6 , i dont know whether i wer gona give a try to milk thistle or not  , but when you sent that then i thought why not to give it a try .... and when i felt the benefits of it then i decided  to find it here and i found GNC's  one ... Thanx alot fr pushiing/focingly for betterment of my health , although i was saying you to not send anything but you refused all that and not listened to me and sent that ,  Thanx alot buddy for that much concering about me and care ... ... otherwise i dont had believe in that and i think i wasn't going to try it bfore that ) Thanx ALot Buddy ....  for pushing  and encouraging me to give that a try ...

Best Regards
