You have to remember the message board doesn't work like instant messaging, too.  People don't stay on here all day, they may pop in once a day, or when they take a break, so it's a matter of hit or miss.  And I know myself, sometimes I look in to see what's going on, but I really don't have time to post anything, and will plan on doing it later when I can sit down and think.

I know when you are sick and want to connect with someone, you want answers right now! 

Just don't take it personally, and post your message and come back a few hours later and check it.  It all depends on who has been in and if they feel they have advice or anything they can share on that topic.  (I for example don't have RA, and have never taken the meds you are taking, so I didn't have any words of wisdom on that one.)  Sorry!

Just know that we try not to leave anyone out and that often all of us post things that don't get a reply, or the type of reply we were looking for.  We want you and everyone else here - REALLY!

Doobgirl,

Hillhoney is right, people pop in and out all day, sometimes they have time to post and sometimes not. I am in AU so I have just gotten up, received 7 PM's I need to deal with...had to take my daughter to school and get her organised so now I am back and attempting to answer a few posts.

I know when you are sick and feeling alone it is difficult but people will answer you just have to be patient.

I have also PMed you a week or so ago and said you were welcome to PM me anytime you had a question if you were frustrated with posting. But you need to keep posting and post answers on others even if it is only, "I'm sorry you are going through this," we get to know you by you doing that.

Remember too that some of them are at work, taking care of families, in different time zones etc.

Now I am pretty much around my PC all the time except when sleeping.

I know you are frustrated but don't give up.

We aren't in anyway ignoring you, in fact, we love new people and helping others new to this disease but yes, there is a huge group of us who know each other pretty well. You just need to keep talking.
Doob, I promise you I don't just blow you off.  I just  now saw this thread at almost 11 o'clock at night.  Please be patient.  If you read posts, you can see that this is not an uncaring board.  Everyone isn't around all the time, and it takes a while to get a reply.  Hope you don't leave.Doob, you have two pages of GREAT responses to your thread. Go check them out!
