Yes, why not to share openly our problems with photos - this could
help everybody...

Well, but later like whole summary. I met people who don't like to
hear partial facts about problems. So I really don't want to share
now. I am collecting data. And I sorely found nobody really wants to
share own info which could VERY help us all - include photos to let
see people how this illness looks like etc. Just few hearing from
some European countries - and of course only privately - and we
really need all these infos gather. Now I have clear imagine how
symptoms look like.

Terrific to hear this to me. I really can't imagine to do this to
all my hamsters!

And will be forever moving because there are many people like
Dalmatian man and we can't change this! I am afraid that quite soon
also the USA will have quite serious problems with HaPV and I am
really sad about it. Then we can share our problems. I will forever
try to help if possible.

I feel UK is full of this problem and when I think about all the
people who will never tell about their problem (my guess is 5% of
affected people or less who tell this openly to the world). Then
probably many surrounding countries... But well I am gathering data
and will share on the end of my problem and add later news if
somebody will tell me something that is important.
