Delete | Arthritis Information

deletedjustsaynoemore39455.2037962963It seems that every winter is when we get all the new members. I think it's from people being stuck inside so much. But that's just my theory!

Then, too, some of us are just lurkers and readers.

I think I signed on about 2 years ago. It's a great site, and has been very helpful to me.

its winter and cold so people have more time to spend at their computers...add the lack of anything new on tv and you get more activityWell, from these responses, it looks like I am completely wrong about the number of new posters signing up with the site. Thanks for the input. Cathy

Oh SnowOwl.........I want to add to your quote, it's just too cute!

"We hurt, we came, we posted. And then drank wine...."

Sam Adams [QUOTE=justsaynoemore]Is anyone else finding it as odd as I do that the number of new posters is increasing steadily? Is there an epidemic of auto-immune going on that isn't being addressed in a global sense? We have doctors tell us we are just crazy and depressed, and nothing is in the press about this surge in auto-immune disease finally being recognized after years of BS. It's like its a conspiracy or something. Just throwing it out for discussion, and of course, if your experience has been good, I don't expect you to agree with me. Cathy[/QUOTE]

People get new computers for Christmas. Also, this site comes up near the top when searching for "arthritis message board". That's how I found it, even though I've had RA for years. [QUOTE=arriscolwell]What is this? An alcoholic war? Point taken!I just went to the grocery store and I actually bought a 6-pack of Sam Adams. WOOHOO!!!! I almost never have beer in the house. Now I just have to find the damn bottle opener!!! Otherwise I'm gonna have to try to knock the cap off with a butterknife! Chuck Norris could take the bottle cap off with his BEARD.This is a good point. I think not only is there more AI disease out there, but
people are being diagnosed with these rather than suffering for years. The
internet has opened a huge amount of information for people to get at and
people are starting to diagnose themselves. I think it is great, not that there
is more of this, but that the more people that are affected, the more
treatments and medicines that will come our way. Did someone say POPCORN? POPCORN is the word!!!!POPCORN=PUPPY FEET.

Someday I will be famous for that discovery!

Someone should make it a wikipedia entry!

Because puppy feet smell like popcorn - someday you guys will try this out when you get a puppy and say, "Hey, you know what, it's true"!
