Re: Digest 5346...2 Dennis/ and board

April 24, 2006

I don't know what I am talking about since I didn't see the majority of the

misunderstanding (so I could be way off base) but you guys sound like really

good people and I am sure no harm was meant intentionally. Yet I know what it's

like to try to avoid negativity and will understand if you take a breather. I

usually pull away for a while but come back at a more peaceful time from any

board or situation.. Since we can't see each other our sense of humor sometimes

doesn't come across in the typed words. I am always telling jokes and people

rarely get my jokes. Ha! I guess I won't quit my day job. <smile>. A lot of

the times I am smiling when I am writing to you guys or I feel a since of

kinship because of the condition we share so I may 'let my hair down' a little

too much, and I am sure it doesn't always come out right but so far you guys

have been very accommodating. I wouldn't want to do without either of you for

any long period of time or any of you for that

matter. I am still waiting for some to return to the board. I guess you

become like family after a while for a lot of us. I hope that's a good thing.

The one thing I do know is we can only pull from our personal, individual

experiences and neither has all of the answers all of the time not even the

doctors to my surprise and deep sorrow, for one thing nothing works for all of

the RA sufferers all of the time. There is just not enough info or how to stop

this monster of a disease or we would all be cured by now. We are all

different and react differently. We do what we know at the time and when we

know more we make different choices for better or worse sometimes. The best we

can do is try not to throw the baby out with the bath water and stay hopeful

(hope that made sense). In the meantime, I would love to hear your experiences

and the newly diagnosed needs to hear them.

peace and healing,

Ebony
