NeuroTalk Support Groups

Julie,

What is wrong? I'm with Marc..............NO you can't!

Sometimes we all have to take a moment and look at reality here. Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to look at body language or peoples eyes when we talk. Double this with pain, or should I say the agony that most RSD'rs are going through on a day-to-day basis and we have the receipe for hurt feelings all the time.

I so understand how hurtful it can be when threads are not answered. If your message is the last message in a thread and it suddenly becomes non-active. All these things seem like personal hits...but you know what? Within a support group as large as we are, one must not take these actions personal.

I've been on this board long enough and have been witness to so many hurt feelings just on these issues alone. This board is like a well grease machine. Every link works. Everyone represents a link. We all can't be here posting every day. Without each of us, each type of personality, night owls, men and women, our lovely kids, and our beautiful seniors, our newbies and us "oldies"....our spectacular RSD forum wouldn't be the greatest family on earth!!!

It's a big responsibility to be a part of a support group such as ours. It's freaking hard work! I commend everyone for a job well done. It's very difficult to keep up each of our responsibility to act kindly, proof our threads especially looking how each and every member will "receive" (understand) our remarks. This is tough...and this how our feelings get hurt.

Julie, you've always been a very supportive member, straight forward and kind person to me and every individual in my opinion. This is why this comes as a big shocker to me, and by the outcry of disapproval, I see I'm not alone. So I'm asking you to reconsider.

don't just leave us this way...holiday's are here.

With aloha, Dana
