Most of you now on the board dont know me.....I stayed away because of all the fighting and how sad it made me that we are all in the same boat and instead of supporting each other; we hurt each other with the things we say.
I have signed in the last few days and although the names have changed ....we are still hurting one another....
How sad with an opportunity to help each other turns to causing each other pain.....RA causes enough pain in our lives..which is something we cannot control....but hurting each other only makes things worse...and that sadly we can controlHi Devsgramma, I thought I hadn't seen you here since I came back, I left for a while too due to all the infighting and agree with you totally, but I do need help and someone to talk to and thought maybe I will just have to try and ignore the bad posts as I do get a lot of help from this site, anyhow see if you can stick around, we do miss you and hopefully we can help you too. I must say that when all the Roxy stuff was going on I thought it was awful for a support board and it was really stressing me out, so I left as I said, hopefully it won't get that bad again. Hugs Janie.
Hi, ignore them, I do wish they could PM each other and not clog up the board posts and keep them 'at the top'!
Oh well , you can't control other people. Lynda
Devsgramma,
Although you mean well, posts like these typically start things all over again. It is best not to read them and not to start posts begging people to be nice. Everyone here is an adult and we all know what we should be doing.
BTW, welcome to the board! It is nice to have you. It will blow over, it always does. We have some very passionate people (myself included) on these boards and they get heated from time to time. We always agree to disagree or move on in the end.

Hi Devsgramma and Janiefx,
I don't know either of you because I'm kinda new here but glad to meet you. I also came here for support from others who can understand what I go through on a daily basis. It hurts my heart to see the fighting that goes on here. If either of you need support I am here and I won't fight. Feel free to PM me or just post a message on the general board. I try to read and answer all. Hope both of you are feeling well. I'm a little achy from many days of rain and stress from ongoing divorce. But I'm alive and I could get out of bed this morning so mostly just thankful.
Nice to meet you both,
Steph
welcome both of you! I find a lot of support and comfort from many of the people here. Sadly there are bits of bickering here and there, but overall, I think there is much more positive than negative postings. Jump in and post away!
welcome again!

Hi Devsgramma, welcome and please stay around this time. Ignore the meaness and arguing. I just don't read it. It's not worth the effort or my time. Life is too short. We're really a supportive bunch, it's just that the infighting no matter how small seems to become the focus. The true focus is helping one another, teaching, and learning from other forum members, and that includes the ones who are fighting with one another. Keep posting, we're here for you. Lindy Thanks Steph, ditto, Janie. Thank you one and all. I truly hope and pray we can become a source of support and understanding if someone is having a bad day thats what we should consider....and give them support and not take offense. I hate this disease so much......and although my wonderful family tries to understand u are the only ones that do.Devsgramma,
That is so true. Only someone else living with this is fully understand what we go through. I'm very glad that I found this place to share, vent and meet people that go through RA too.
I know I'm new...ish to this site but I dont read the crap.... just press the backspace button and it vanishes..coooool button
I need a daily fix on the board.Glad you two are back...PLEASE stick around.
