its vanished now. But did anyone see that odd post by someone who was indicating they had self diagnosed themselves with Fibro and were convinced they had cancer?

It was really disturbing to read, I felt really odd reading it. I won’t go into more detail however I wonder if anyone else saw it & also felt a little bewildered.

Yes. I read it. The note at the end of the post was perplexing. It stated something to the effect my cat knows I have cancer. Strangely enough, I have read of pets finding cancer in their owner. They sense or smell something. I almost asked about it, but the writer seemed to be saying they didn't want responses. 🤷

It was that the cat also had cancer.

Hi there, I see you recently joined our wonderful support group. I would just like say our forum is open to everyone that suffers with fibromyalgia including those from other countries.

Sadly we also have many members who suffer with other physical and mental health issues besides fibro.

We try to support all our members with understanding and compassion.

May I suggest for future reference. If you find any post strange or upsetting you report it . Rather than post about it. This would be less upsetting to the OP and members thank you.

Good point. The original post concerned me so I commented here. I think you're right, not discussing it off the original post is best.

Dear Dizzytwo, Reading your gentle reply above made me have a weird moment and well-up! Especially about all the other issues members face as you wrote in your second line. It is here on this site that I have become aware of many of those other issues so many are facing. Reading the letters that come about so many types of pain, both mental and physical that members suffer, highlights so many experiences that are not out there for everyone in the world, which to so many seems to strive resolutely to keep itself outside of us. - I can't remotely imagine sometimes, how some sufferers get through the days and the nights too.

My own fibro-life does have quite a few stresses and roadblocks, of course, but I still feel that I get off lightly while so many others have far, far too many things to cope with all of the time. I find it deeply moving to read so many caring replies and especially on this post your words about compassion and understanding, so I just want to say thank you for your word medicine and the shared human caring in the words that you wrote above. Gentle hug to you, KJ 🌺
