Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I also recognise this is a group for all suffering with fibro, and I know that there are alot of other topics brought up, not a problem for me. If that is something that needs to be addressed, it is also my belief that having faith helps me with the fibro. If that is a help to others as well, then there is no need for comments such as " Look like the religious brigade is back " That comment started the whole issue. could have said, looks like the make-up birgade is back. or someone else could have said, Looks like the bed and sleeping with a fan brigade is back, and the list goes on. We are all here to finds ways to comfort, advise, support each other. I suggest to keep your comments on a subject that you don't care for to yourself.

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general. 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better. 3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe 4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense of humor. 5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let us know so that we can do our best to offer our support. Have a nice day everyone.
