I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but I'm a member of another forum for my lupus, but I haven't been a member there nearly as long as I've been here. Even though most of my current problems are SLE related, I still prefer coming here because this forum is so welcoming and KIND and that's a rare treasure to find on the internet! I know sometimes messages can be misinterpreted in writing, or sometimes, we just have a bad day, but there is always an atmosphere of support and willingness to help here that I wish more forums would (or could) adopt.
So thank you members for being respectful and supportive of others, and thank you staff for keeping our forum that way :)
Ms,
i think this is the greatest forum too!!!
i always get a response and there is alot of supportive folks here-
thank goodness we have eachother cause doctors sure arent alot of help most of the time.
I have an aswesome rhuemy but as we all know there are alot of " extras" that com e with autoimmune and doctors just dont know about half of it.

AMEN!

I agree - everyone here is so helpful and supportive. Plus it's wonderful to come and find others who share a lot of the same health issues and tips on how to handle the day to day annoyances.
I certainly agree with the posters above and had been thinking of posting a similar thread myself. It's so good to know about things others have found helpful and to have the emotional support as well. Sometimes I take things very seriously and don't always recognize a joke, but I have found nearly everyone to be polite and kind. This forum has answered many of my questions and for that I am very thankful. I've learned a lot here.
Absolutely agree! I use another forum for the technical stuff to do with RA, but for friendship across the miles, support and company, I have never found a community like this.
To all those who work hard behind the scenes and those who post regularly and make sure no one's posts are left without a thoughtful response, thankyou so much.
I love the tag line under Bucky's posts, about sitting a spell ... I feel we really do this and it is the next best thing to sitting round each others' kitchen tables.

This site has become part of my daily life. I can't usually talk to any of my family and friends about my sjogrens issues, but I have all if you, and for that I am incredibly greatful...
Thank you for starting this thread MS. I agree 100% with what you say.
I've not posted very much recently, but I do try to read the boards as often as I can.
Blessings to all our Sjoggie friends.

This forum is the greatest. I love it and it always makes my day when I pop in to see what is going on.
Everyone is very friendly and compassionate!

I agree :D
I have found the people on this forum very welcoming & helpful with my many questions regarding my daughter's SjS. Gosh, I've gained more knowledge here than from the Doctors.
I have also received a lot of great advice and support regarding my own, non SjS issues.
Thanks to everyone involved in running and contributing to this site.
Just "Ditto" what everyone else said! I just hate it when people post before me and use up all the good words and clever sayings!!! Seriously, I appreciate all the caring and thoughtful people on this site. It makes a sometimes rough journey seem easier when your walking with friends.
Yes, all of you mean so much to me during my days. I have learned so, so much here. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Yes I agree!! This is the best boards, people helping each other in loving ways and sharing their experiences and knowledge.
Thank you everyone!

I love this board! :-*
Thank you, mshistory! :)
I was so impressed by all the support I recieved when I first found you all.
Now I'm proud to be part of the staff even though I'm just one of you, learning each day and trying to share and encourage one another always.
I appreciate you all. :D
Hugs to all,
Melinda
