Take Notice: Oprah Show Online Petition

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone out there in Fibroland/Fatigueland (I have both).. <g>

I will sign the petition for sure... I am also writing to Oprah herself. If

you wish to write her as well it is http://www.oprah.com. You see I have a

hand autographed pix of Oprah from July 17,1987 when she had gone national.

I also have a hand written letter from her as well. I have it in a clear

frame and it has been on my coffee table between my couch and chair ever

since. I was offered $1,500 for it and refused. My collection is just for

my enjoyment not as a money maker, which online there are a lot who buy and

sell them.

I watched one of her shows last week which was something about weight. I

missed the first half of the show, and anyway the Dr and Oprah had a lady in

tears and never offered any word of comfort, they just kept tearing her down.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Of course Oprah's weight was not

discussed and she looks like she has gained back every pound she lost. Oprah

used to always and I mean always hug whoever was in the audience and upset

after sharing her life on camera.

I believe Oprah has lost her humility and humbleness which got her where she

is today. She has made it clear on her show she " no longer signs autographs

" . All the autographs she has signed in the past got her to where she is

now. I believe she has forgotten that over the years and the money has

changed her. She went up fast and she can go down even faster. I am a

personal artist manager and one thing I insist on is those autograph

sessions. It means a lot to a fan to have a signed pix.

I think she needs to go back and spend some time with her Dad in Nashville

who is a preacher... she needs a boot in her britches to bring her back down

to reality. Too much fame and too much $ can change anyone, but she had

always kept her kind heart until now. Maybe she should just cancel her

contract and stop the show because she doesn't seem to care about subjects

etc anymore.

These shows on not breathing properly are just crap!!! I was born with many

health challenges, so does this mean I didn't breath right prior to birth or

my Mum didn't breath right while she was carrying me? This is just

ridiculous to me! Being stressed does wear us down yes, but it does not

bring on fibro, chronic fatigue, lupus etc. It is NOT our fault we have these

conditions!!!! They are trying to blame something on what are called " orphan

diseases " , which are on the bottom of the pole for funding and research. You

can bet your bottom dollar tho, if Oprah got any of these things there she

would be on tv and the research money would pour in. She should do something

positive to help raise money not upset a lot of people who suffer daily with

things there is no cure or magic medicine to make us better. She has no clue

what it is like for us I am sure. Maybe she should do a show where she must

live our life for a day or two and then see what she has to say..... just

don't know anymore. -(

I was watching the Oprah show yesterday. I would suggest that this lady " pay

attention to her spirit, " cause she really has put back on her hippo hips.

If I could afford what she can, my spirit would be even happier than it is

now.

IMHO, people who have unlimited $ resources and still can't get it right,

have a very serious problem. I'm been nasty like this cause I too was

offended by her comments. FMS is nothing to joke about or put others down

with.

Guess Karma kind of gets those of us who think we are " above it all " by

judging others. I'm not wishing harm to anyone, but would always, of course,

want to defend an fms sufferer. If I have offended any of our list members,

I'll say sorry.
