Life is too short ..... let's call a TRUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not know what all the recent upset/hostility that has been happening on this site is all about ( and I don't wish to know about it either) ....... but I think it is important for us all to appreciate that this forum is here for us all to SUPPORT each other.

We all need to feel that we are NOT the only ones living with this condition and I think it is great that there is "a place" where we can all offer advice, ideas, sympathy and express our experiences and ask questions about issues that are worrying us. We all have different personalities and we sometimes have to "agree to disagree".

Remember we all have "choices" -- we can decide which "blogs" and "questions" we wish to read or reply to.

I personally find that it helps me to deal with this condition by "joking" about myself when I do stupid things or forget words. A little "lightheartedness" helps to improve my mood and relieves the stress of daily life!! :)

Please let's all "move on" and hope that "by supporting each other" we can all benefit from each others experiences and improve the quality of our lives. TAKE CARE XXX

Hi Phlebo I have to agree we all suffer with fibro and other illnesses on here and it's a place we can come to, whether we are feeling good bad sad happy and there will always be someone around who can sympathise or cheer you up whatever you need, That's the important thing to be surrounded by such a mix of people who understand what it feels like to have fibro

Totally agree. I don't know or wish to know what happened, it has nothing to do with me. This site has helped me no end with jokes, lighthearted stories, support, information and advice.

Please don't let it go from rack to ruin.

We all need this site.

Thanks phlebo, well said!

And thanks to all who have added their very good sense to this thread.

The best way to end any dispute is to agree to disagree and remain friends - the alternative is too horrible to contemplate!

I AGREE PHLEBO,

LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR ALL OF THIS UPSET AND WE ALL HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH AGGRO AND PAIN TO DEAL WITH.

WE WILL NEVER ALL AGREE ON CERTAIN THINGS BUT OUR VERY DIFFERENCES SHOULD BE WHAT HELPS THIS FORUM TO THRIVE, AS WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER AT LEAST SOMEONE ON THIS SITE.

I TRY TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WHERE I CAN, AND I TEND TO DO A QUICK SCAN OF SOME BLOGS AND IF I FEEL I CAN'T HELP THEN I MOVE ON TO THE NEXT BLOG. I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE ENEGY TO RESPOND TO PEOPLE BUT REST ASSURED THAT YOU ARE ALL IN MY THOUGHTS EVERY DAY, WHOEVER YOU MAY BE, INCLUDING ADMIN PEOPLE AND VOLUNTEERS.

I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU GIVE UP YOUR TIME WILLINGLY ON BEHALF OF OTHERS, DESPITE YOUR OWN HEALTH ISSUES AND I AM SURE THAT, DESPITE WHAT HAS BEEN SAID IN THE LAST DAY OR SO, MOST PEOPLE WOULD AGREE WITH ME. PLEASE TAKE HEART FROM THAT.

I AM SADDENED TO LEARN THAT LIBS AND PIGGY FELT THE NEED TO LEAVE AND I WISH THEM ALL THE VERY BEST.

WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND WHAT ONE PERSON MIGHT FIND FUNNY, OTHERS DON'T NECESSARILY. I LIKE TO HAVE A LAUGH AND A JOKE AND IF SOMETHING "TICKLES MY FANCY" I SAY SO. WE CERTAINLY NEED A SENSE OF HUMOUR LIVING WITH FIBRO EVERY DAY.

LOVE AND HEALING THOUGHTS TO ALL WHO READ THIS.

HUGS SASKIA. XX
