Admin: Some things that need to be discussed- Everyone Please Read!!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I would like to bring up the issue of joking on the list. It is

ok to joke once in a while but we need to be careful how far to

let it go because when it goes too far it can cause more

problems such as leading to possible arguments.

We do need to be able to discuss side effects of medications

with others that ask about medicines they are considering trying

or just starting out with. But let's be careful about how we

joke (which actually would be best not to do if at all possible)

about this so as not to hurt someone else's feelings.

As for actual doctor shopping, well, trying to find the right

doctor to help us take care of our needs when it comes to meds

whether it's narcotic medication related or not is not the same

as the true definition of " doctor shopping " which is someone who

is looking for something else.

On the issue of religious discussion, it is all right to say

that someone is in our thoughts and prayers if we know they are

going thru a lot of difficulty right now regardless of the

situation. But that's as far as the discussion goes. If

someone wants to talk more about religion there are fibro groups

out there where the owners have allowed the people to do that.

has also created a similar group for anyone interested

and I can dig for the link and share it with anyone that wants

that link.

Another thing on the issue of medication, if you notice side

effects that have become intolerable regardless of how long you

have been on the medication please get in touch with your doctor

right away. If it's causing you to have an allergic reaction

please go to the ER right away so that this can be dealt with

promptly.

Let's also remember that a number of us are in flares right now

so sometimes messages can be taken the wrong way. Also, with

e-mail it's hard sometimes to know what a person is really

thinking when they say what.

Please also let's remember to respect that everyone has an

opinion and if you are discussing a particular topic with a

member that could be a potential for argument, please take it

off list.

If you have a problem with a particular member for any reason

please get in touch with the administrative staff by sending an

e-mail to us at:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-owner so that we can

try to help resolve the issue.

If you have any other questions please contact us at the owner

address as well and we will do our best to address the issue.
