Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Hello Reggie!! I don't think that people are ignoring you, just that people aren't on the computer all the time. People are off doing things during the day. I just got 6 new baby squirrels in that I have been rehabbing, takes a lot of time to feed them all, make sure they've done their potty business and clean them up. Sometimes I get on the computer and I have anywhere from 300 to 600 + messages (I am on many lists) waiting for me, so I delete many of them. What are you doing now for the problems you are having? Are you on medication? I don't have too much info on fibro, but lots on chronic pain. I've had chronic pain since roughly 11/99. Earlier this year I was told I had fibro. They couldn't figure out why I was having all this pain, well I had only been through an cervical spinal fusion 2/99 then was rear ended in 11/99 and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2/99 or about there. I know what you mean by hell and back. I can only imagine how it is for you. Or any man for that matter. Society needs reorganization. Society has messed up views on many things. A real man is one that can admit his feelings. *I* feel that anything less, is not a real man, but a liar. Same for a woman. I gotta go feed the baby squirrels, again. Welcome and " hi, " Reggie!!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Reggie, No one meant to ignore you. We care for each and every one on this list. There are emails with people names on them but they are meant to be read by everyone. The name is there because the person wanted some info or needed help. Please read all of the emails that come through. If you need help, ask for it. Someone will help you. Please understand that a lot of us, at different times, are going through flares that cause them not to read email, answer email. I am having a very bad flare right now and I am inclined to be rather harsh in my answering of email. I am sorry if anything that I may have said has hurt you. Those on this list know that I often say things that are better unsaid but that is my way. I get miffed myself some days especially when the pain is as bad as it is now. Take care, Irene Books may well be the only true magic Alice Hoffman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Hi & thanks, The group thing is new for me, now it's much more clear as to how it all works. I used to be extremely busy as a successful business owner of a multi-million dollar enterprise, now I have lots of time on my hands because i don't go many places these days. I sure wish there were groups like this back in the days when I was first diagnosed in 1986. There was practically no one who could or would try to relate except a few here and there. This is great to know that there are many who are as willing to reach out like you have, that's why I'm here too, to help where I can. Be well & thank you ...
