Truly Disgusted

I would just like to say to anyone(you know who you are) who revel in controversy and popularity contests..stop it.This is sophomoric behavior at best...the old saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" still applies. This t** for tat BS is old and disheartening..people are hurting here, either from withdrawals, loss of loved ones, or other life stressors.Enough is enough. I come here to chat with people I've come to know and help when I can.It seems to me there are some who are not only still using, but judging others and stirring up garbage.To all of my friends here...I love you all..please take these comments in the spirit they were given...only positive criticism here....thank you, Sharonn
Dear Sharonn,I just needed to say to you that YES you are so right.This board can work magic Ive seen it.Ive been here since Nov 04 & Ive learned alot.Ive also seen this place at its worst.When this board works the way it should you wont find a stronger support system.when this board falls back into all the BS it just waste alot of valuable space.If wishes were dollars Id have a million easy,but the world just doesnt work that way.Like you I hope that this board will settle back down & work its magic.Because honestly it is amazing the love that can be given on here.Thank you for this post I wish all of the people here could at least RESPECT each other.Until that time does come I can only control my actions as do you.take Care...mj
Sharron, Hi and I agree. Hi Molly!

Quick question Sharron, do you have RA?

My sister has just straight arthritis and she wanted to know if an RA specialist would be able to treat her. She doesn't have the Rhematiod part. (sp)
Wendy, I have Lupus..my RA tests were normal..pretty accurate(to my knowledge) in RA diagnosis.Fibromyagia can also mimic RA...are her symptoms joint related, or all-over body pain? Sharonn..BTW..If I am correct, I believe Michelle has RA, or at least knows more about it.
I remember you talking about it but now I remember you didnt have it. She has pain in her knees and hip. Worse at night. The doctor told her to take aleve everyday wheather she had pain or not. He said it was a buildup medication. I think he isnt checking her properly and she should see a specialist because like you said, it may be lupus etc.,
Wendy, I have RA and it can show up in your blood work and/or your X Rays. Sometimes the blood work will not show it and the X Rays will. Your sister should have both of the above done to rule out RA. It is not hard to figure out if she has it or not. Have a good day.
Im saying Pam the doctor said she had arthritis, not RA. My question was, "should see a RA specialist" even though she doesn't have the rheumitoid part?
Sorry Wendy, I read your post too quickly. Yes an RA specialist should be able to help her. They specialize in many types of arthiritis. Good Luck to her.

Okay Pam....Cool Do you know if her doctor knows what he is talking about taking aleve every day? Is it a build up med?
Hey there:

I think you know me well enough to know that I agree. I an concerned about everyone's recovery and pain.

I hope your pain and sleep are still better. I slept last night - 2 nights in a row - may
be going for a record.

Love you,
Jean
Jean,

Who in the world are you taking to here???
What is it you are agreeing with???

Swizzle, my thoughts exactly. I have no clue as to whom she is speaking to. Maybe a ghost...

Wendy, I have never heard that one about the aleve. I will ask my husband when he gets home though but I really don't think aleve is a build up medicine. Celebrex and those types of meds are build up meds. Aleve has Naproxen in it, I believe. I'll get back with you on this one.
Glad to know that it's just not me....
LOL
Must be the famous ghost....

How are you doing today Pam??
I owe you an e-mail
I'll write to you soon

Swizzle,

Why are you being so hostile towards Jean? She is agreeing to what Ksharon said just as a few others on this board have done. Geez.

Cause sharon is talking about JEAN
then off the wall Jean post saying she agrees - with what???
her post does not make any sense
I'm just asking who she's talking to and WHAT it is she is agreeing with
Just trying to clarify cause it does not make any sense at all

I know what you mean lovebird...Sharron, not KYsharron....Guys, she was responding to the original post.
Swizzle, I am doing great. Thank you for asking. You are right, it is not just you. LOL.. This non sense is getting on my last nerve. I will look forward to your email.

Lovebird, you are missing the whole point here. This has been a long rodeo and most of us are tired of this persons antics. That is all, nothing more, nothine less.
swizzle, where does it say Sharron was writing about Jean?
Sharon, You are 100% right. You seem like a very nice person and I enjoy your posts.

Pam and Wendy, Aleve is non-prescription strength naproxen.

So why doesn't Ksharon just say who she's talking to. It appears Jean doesn't know and that's why she is agreeing. If someone is going to be brave enough to suggests such things about people then this person should address this person in email (off board) or just be brave enough and write the damm name. This is childish. I see Jean takes alot of crap from people and it is getting old.
