I haven't been around too much lately, but it is just horrible here now!! It used to be so fun and I LOVED coming here and chatting with everyone. Even tho I see Katie (arriscolwell) being badmouthed, I liked her as well. Why do people have to come along and ruin stuff?
When I found this place about 18 months ago, you all were so nice and helped me so much. Now I log on, and there is all this negativity going on all over the threads.
How about all the A$$h0les LEAVE and give us this place back? I come here to learn, read, be supportive of others, etc. The last thing some of these people need is the BULLSH!T that is on here now.
At this point, you all can hate me, and it won't break my heart I guess. I just really miss the nice times when we all treated each other with respect.
Kathy- the sad part is that this has been going on since September- can you imagine? Most of the people I remember enjoying conversations with visit very infrequently if at all.
There's always been things like this going on...not just lately. This really isn't anything new to this site.kel- has it been between members that are still active now? You've been around a lot longer than I have been.
Well, some of it yes. But for the most part, you could actually enjoy yourself. This just plain sucks. Every thread you open is nothing but crap and bickering. I miss Jasmines wit, and Joonies too. I miss actaully hearing people are improving. Cordy, looks like you have actually made some progress with your pain relief. Good for you!!
All I know, is it's not fun to log on to all the bull and bickering.
Wantobe...sorry...I meant there's always been some type of fighting going on over the years...not the members that are causing the problems now. It's never really bothered me. If I want to read it...I read it...if I'm not in the mood for it, I skip it.Wanna just say thanks! This all helps alot. Lets make more post just like this. This is working out so well in Loresters post. Nice guys.[QUOTE=inflamedOnline]Wanna just say thanks! This all helps alot. Lets make more post just like this.

lorster is just trying to stir up the sh*t like she always does, she was bored today with the board so she decided to beef it up. and now i'm her target. oh well, this place still rocks.............and i am not leaving 'honey'.
I am the real inflamed0nline............ I like to stir up the pot........................
This place rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has NOT always been like this as long as I have been here. There has been an occasional spat, a disagreement in opinions but not childish BS like this. There has even been some downright meanness for no good reason but a day later it was over. It's gone past the point of just not reading posts that has content that offends you- it's been infiltrated through out all of our posts. The bumped up old posts clog up the board and decent ones get lost- pushed to the bottom.
I don't know who is doing it and I don't really care who it is. Whoever it is needs serious mental help. People our age do not behave like this. It's pathetic.
There are people here that I really enjoy. They are funny, supportive, interesting and add to the pleasure of life. When they are all gone I hope the A-hole, (s) enjoy the board. I wonder what will be talked about?
alright........................now i can have all 3 of me posting IO, I0 & AA[QUOTE=inflamed0nline]alright........................now i can have all 3 of me posting IO, I0 & AA[/QUOTE]
Yeah... for some reason this time of year brings out a few jackasses like the current TROLL, I think it is because the TROLL is so misrable and lonely around the holidays that they take it out on others. Maybe if they were nicer and got out more they would not spend their day on this message board wreek havoc and stuffing their face with twinkies!
Imposter... you suck bright red hemorrhidal babbon BUTT!
Leave, already will ya?!
You are disruppting a place of information and support.
Just because you are not in need of information nor support does not mean you need to ruin it for others!
oh well to bad for you jonnie.......................I'm all 3 of the imposters..........IO, I0 and the fake AA.................this is fun............everyone here has this coming............this place rocks!!!
Well.... you have something coming too.... can you guess what it is?.....................i dont care.............i love this! hahaha
Well... I think you will care... because it is only going to impact you and it seems it already has.
Can you guess what it is? Com'on now... you must have some sort of idea. Please do share your idea with us. I would LOVE to hear it.
....................boring joonie..........
You are boring! You keep posting about the same sh*t over and over and over again. I mean you are beginning to sound like my husbands grandpa and grating on my last nerve. You are starting to irritate me and you will not like me when I am irritated with you.
LMAO!!! I watched Incredible Hulk last night.... heheheee!
Too bad I do not turn green and BIG and able to stomp you into the pavement.
BTW... I guess you already know about the TWINKIE shortage? Seems like you ate the last one. But I hear they have twinkies for sale on eBay... there is even one with the face of the Virgin Mary on it! I bet you would LOVE to eat that one, huh?You are too FF Joonie!!!!!!Grandma, I agree with you. It has changed here. The polarizing presidential election was the catalyst and I try hard not to get drawn in (I fail on rare occasions and post something I shouldn't but then realize my error and leave the thread). It's important to recognize to "agree to disagree" and move on.
I really have no problem ignoring the likes of Inflamed2. Not sure why others find it so hard not to.Since we have a hijacker on board, perhaps we could start a ranson fund and pay them off as this is internet blackmail. Too bad we cannot tackle them, tie them up with duck tape and gag them, and give them to the Internet police. Perhaps there is an internet law that was broken when "it" posted my picture off my bosses website, I think I will do some research. sorry JSNM the picture wasn't copywritten so it was placed into the public domain when it was placed on the website.
Unfortunately what is going on is annoying but not illegalbuckeye, you're wrong. Images have a copyright even if they don't have a notice of copyright on it. Images have an automatic copyright as soon as they are created. Posting them on the internet or otherwise reproducing them, even without a copyright notice, does not automatically make them public domain.

Furthermore, I haven't looked at the site but I would be evry surprised if it didn't have a copyright notice on it. But again, I stress, one isn't needed for the work to be protected under copyright law.buckeye - shhhhhh (I knew that, I was trying to put a scare into them) LOL
But on review of the Active Users, one of our "guests" is searching for "rocks" so
ROCKS ROCKS ROCK
Hi,
new here.
Sorry you are upset about how this place is turning out. If you are upset with the bickering, that's totally understandable. I see that every where with people who are suffering. guess they are tired of suffering. I have a problem with people bickering about what works for them assuming we are all clones and what works for them will work for you. It almost feels like the drug representatives are trying to sway you to try their drugs.
however, being upset with people for not getting any better, well that get enough of that with well people. They need an outlet. Just try to be a listening ear or not if you don't want to. but blaming them for failed therapies is kind of insensitive. I know there are those who are simply not able to tolerate the slightest bit of pain. being mad at them won't change that. but this disease is so painful that there is no such thing as slight pain. I don't think even the doctors have a clue. but then there are those who have it mildly and always will. and it seems they are the ones the medicines work best for.
hope you are doing well. stay positive. take care.
..........shelly63???????? hmmmmmmmm are you pin, pip, gimp, joi, lorster, jsnm........which one? has anyone else noticed how many newbies have signed up in the last 2 weeks...........all these alias's.............hm............That's an interesting list of names, (especially considering i haven't had any interaction with you). Obviously someone has a vendetta.By the way, you're a coward.................hey i've seen ALL OF YOU in action with numerous people you had it in for..........i got your agenda..................levlarry was right about all you bitches. hahaha........this place rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hmm, yeah that's an interesting grouping of people, folks someone in the past has categorized as the "liberal clique." I'm guessin this troll is Audrey of Powhatan, Virginia. Audrey DeL___, formerly Mouse over on the Arthritis Foundation RA forum.
...............everyone knows the names of the real trouble makers in here.........AA wasn't the only one who knew it...............and surely she didnt put her real last name out there...........I was told it began with a "M" but thats all Ill say..........
And I just looked her up on that site and she hasnt been on there either..........unless she is someone else there.
Cant find honey either...............wonder if IO is gonna leave now? I hope not, i love to piss her off along with everyone else here............if she leaves who will i pick on next?
This place rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You dont P$^& me off quite frankly i just think you are rather sad, a bit of a "billy no mates" so pick on me, i dont really care, it might mean you leave the rest of the board alone
You don't piss me off either. When you do accidentally get into my radar I just think of you as somewhat pathetic.oh come on...............YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yeah...you're kind of like a mosquito I agree with Gimpy, she/he is pretty pathetic. It's sad really. To have nothing better in life than to sit around all day cyber-stalking. He/she made a comment the other day that made me wonder if they had been badly hurt. Maybe this is all just the actions of a desperate person lashing out for attention. We blindly give it, but in the wrong way.yeah and you smell and you arent going to play with my toys anymore......yeah thats it, it brings back my kindergarten days back to me....Do you know any other words than Rocks and Suck???...Sorry to everyone else that im stooping so low but I think our friend wants someone to hang out with, the playground is empty. The reason im doing it is the more posts this sad pathetic creep puts out the more i proof i have of who she is....
I will not say that I am never going to post to this forum again (never say never), I will still probably come and look at posts, but this board has gotten out of hand. I am new and have gotten a lot of good info. from people here but some of the posts are just rediculous and childish. One post said it was like kindergarten around here, I teach kindergarten and the children are more kind and compassionate then some of the people on here. People have probably been scared away from this board and it should be moderated. I am sorry for the people who may have been so hurt they feel the need to lash out at others, but it really only hurts you to hold such hate. I have now found the Arthritis Foundation board and will post there.
This might be a repeat, but I thought as possibly my last post I would share this with everyone...
It explains how it feels to have chronic pain and live with a disease. Some might already have read it and know about it. Please be kind to each other, we are all in pain and trying to cope with our disabilities.
as tigger says...TTFN
Laurie
PS thank you to those of you who have given me good advice and support, I appreciate it.
Eh... does not bother me that much either. I will admit... that I am enjoying replying to some of the trolls posts. I mean... I have to have something to do when I am bored, and well... why not reply to the twinkie eater when "IT" is already disrupting the board.
The posts and replies of the troll really are pathetic and sad, in more ways than one.
It would be nice to have the board back to the way it use to be, and it will when this troll decides to move on, or maybe this troll just has a grudge against all of us? Either way... it is sad that someone would hold on to a grudge that long.
I have chosen to let the pathetic little troll play here by themselves. I will never understand why people get caught up in the nonsense and respond, as you are giving them what they want. Just stop.
Sadly grandma, it's just no longer worth the added stress. I pop in from time to time, but this is no longer a place of comfort and information, except from a couple of wonderful people. To each of you, I wish a wonderful holiday season free of pain and stress.
God Bless
I agree with you Laurie, Im a member of the same forum and everyone is so nice and freindly and helpful, nothing like in here. i come here to take care of business so to speak...........and its working.........and no one can resist the temptation to get in on the action............joonie..........joi........who else? they all want a piece of me. Ill only leave here when IM done...........this place rocks and all of YOU SUCK!Laurie and Inflamed0nline,
I'm a member of the Arthritis Foundation board as well but don't visit much anymore. The reason is because of the same stuff that is going on here. Though, I have to admit that the persons involved at AF didn't it necessary to hide under an assumed name when spouting their hate.
The board may be moderated better now. If it is, that's good.

very moderated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wonderful site!!!!!!!!!!!!!
man AF site bites! I did not really like it. A lot of hypocrites there when I was a member.
I am not trying to run anyone off or anything like the imposter is stating I am. I am just telling the twinkie eater just like it is.
I bet this crap is going to go on for weeks. Well... all of this coming week, I will not be around. So... the pathetic little troll can post all the mean and hatered it wants and ruin the board even further.
I just hope when I come back on here after my brother goes back home, that at least some of the regular members will still be here and tuffing it out. We will be here when you return Joonie. Enjoy your holiday and your family.
kween, who was the trouble maker on AF. Perhaps it's the same one here. Once a trouble maker, always a trouble maker.
Yeah, he/she/it is just sort of pathetic at this point, and so ridiculous it's easy to ignore.[QUOTE=KatieG]Yeah, he/she/it is just sort of pathetic at this point, and so ridiculous it's easy to ignore.[/QUOTE] hi i am happy with this forum and if there is bickering going well oh well. I will ignore it . I do not understand the concept of injuring others with words or actions. I am just happy to have someone to correspond with. I have been out of sorts (I am loathe to say ill) since last Feb08 and have been happy to lurk about and read up on all the issues around Dmards and assorted drugs and side effects . I look forward to reading the new messages and answers and meeting you all online. It is snowing here right now and I am thankful it has warmed up from the - 25 it was yesterday. peace to all.

[QUOTE=kweenb]Laurie and Inflamed0nline,
Hi Jasmine,
What a beautiful name. I named my daughter Jasmine.
Don't worry about not being on biologics. I have been on all of them and they are not all that. Enbrel worked the best but it was temporary relief and my hands are still crippled from RA. You have to do what's right for you. I ask questions to help me weigh the pros and cons but in the end, it's all me who decides. because when one of those drugs make me worse, the docs and everyone esle will be oh well, it happens.
I started taking fish oil but can't stick to it. pills are hard for me to swallow. so I bought some cod liver oil like my grandma used to give me but the taste is outrageous! however, you just reminded me I need to go back on the fish oil.
that's the whole point of the boards to talk about what works for us and maybe help someone in the process like you reminding me I need to go back on the natural remedies also.
take it easy.

hi Jasminrain I did not know that 3000mg was the miniumum for inflamation. Do you cut back when your inflamation has subsided or stay on the same dose as a preventative?
[QUOTE=2trees] hi Jasminrain I did not know that 3000mg was the miniumum for inflamation. Do you cut back when your inflamation has subsided or stay on the same dose as a preventative?[/QUOTE]
Always at least 3000mg. If I'm having some pain and inflammation (or am anticipating some stress, such as the upcoming holidays) I stay closer to 6000mg. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to stop taking it for a week or so, as I seem to have a sinus infection.hi jasminerain heres another question. So when you have an infection you have to go off the omega 3's? I have had a very bad sinus cold finally getting better and have been taking my 3's 2xday for a change.[QUOTE=inflamed0nline].....................its funny to me how everyone says they ignore it yet here you are talking about it.................yeah right, you ignore it. hahaha

It brings me great pain to say for this one and only time I have to agree with you!
My lands, can't anyone see what is going on here? This is real nice way to keep this thread going, lets answer the newbie questions right on this vile thread that was meant to continue to throw Lisa (ME) under a bus. I shake my head. And wonder who is who around here. Thanks everyone.......nice way to treat people.
Do not take it personally. If I was you I would just keep posting. Like most have already stated they ignore the imposter and they know which reply is yours and which reply is the imposters. So... just post. "it" knows it has not ran you off, it checks your profile everyday to see if you have logged in or not. I have been watching the imposter, hard not to when "It" seems to be online all day everyday.
So... just post and not reply to "its" posts, ignore "it".

she only defended herself after the apology because no one would let it go but she wasnt hateful to anyone..........until she was sick of the sh*t in here and left..........she had every right to tell everyone off at that point.
i noticed she even deleted or edited a lot of her posts, except for some bad ones about lorster, maybe thats why lorster still had it in for her, because she left those posts about her on the board........
........either way, these people that levlarry spoke of and Aching Audrey spoke of are some of the worst troublemakers on this board...........and IO is their big cheering section follower and she is just as bad as they are...............THATS WHY IM HERE inflamed0nline,
You do realize you have become exactly what you are criticizing others of being. A trouble maker. How does this make you any better?
Is there anyone on this board that you feel worthy of your respect? Just one? Your posts affect everyone, even the new lurker who may need some advice but is hesitant to post due to all the "trouble."
2 Jasmine,
Boy this thread has gotten really long. I guess we all want to know what happened to this place.:)
But anyway, I know you are worried about those people but I know when i was new to ra I hung on every word of others. the flares were almost everyday and I had a child to care for. I needed help fast and the doctors were just seeing me once a month, not even monitoring the methotrexate properly. so I turned to the internet. but I soon learned from the school of hard knocks one drug does not fit all. however, when people have success with a medication, they simple cannot understand why you don't. I no long subscribe to this board, owners and moderators were wonderful people but their members oh Lord! they bickered constantly about their medications and what each person should take and if you said something negative about prednisone it would start world war III. grown people, no kids there thank God. but they were behaving like kids.
RA is an emotional disease meaning if you are upset like arguing or bickering, you can bring on a flare or have increased pain. so when the arguments start I disappear and if it lasts too long I end the membership.
I belong to many RA groups, I have forgotten the passwords for almost all of them but don't think I ever belonged to the AF one.
Can't we all just get along...:)
But thanks about the information on the cod liver oil. I don't take it like I should so Ii think I am okay. but I also try to eat more nuts like walnuts and almonds. I use olive oil instead of cooking oil. I take vitamin C and just recently bought something called curamin. It is supposed to help with the pain. I think the best thing I can do for myself at this point is physical therapy. still working it all out with transportation and everything.
hope all is well. hang in there. take care.
Oops! I meant I know you are not worried.... my finger won't cooperate.:)

I0,
Maybe I said it wrong. I was interested in knowing if there was anyone on here you respect because all your trouble-making posts affect them too.
I would be very surprised if I0 has any respect for anyone here since she so obviously has no respect for herself, even.
