I completely agree. I have only been visiting this site for a week and have seen the conference costs.Would it not be more logical to take a couple states and have a conference together?Like Indiana,Ohio,Michigan etc?Or not? I agree that for alot of us the cost is just beginning so we have no idea what to expect.I can only imagine what ya'll who have bills up to your eyeballs think.I would have no objections to getting together with people from differnt states to discuss this,but what the point in taking money we dont have to begin with? I live in Ohio and if anyone organizes something around here let me know.Even if its just to get together and know that there is someone else out there like you.I am open to that.Maybe we can find someone who knows alot about this that would be willing to discuss it in a public forum.Who knows.I have no problem traveling to somewhere that will only cost a lil gas money to get to.My main problem is that withall the meds,gluco- phage etc,i have little money to even buy gas right now.Let alone pay $500.00 or whatever to go to New York!.I am not trying to be rude either,Just a suggestion. :-) Mallissa
