Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Nina, once again well said...I agree, we seem to have gone through some ups and downs in the room but overall I think everyone gets along just fine. I agree, if it's off topic just kinda place it in the Subject line so those that wish to read can adn those that dont can move on. I think with weightloss there are so many variables that people go through. Believe me, I've been very emotional lately, crying for no reason and other things....its just I tend to keep things to myself but I think if ones need to express it then just allow us to decide if we want to read or not. I think this forum is great and I will try to continue to help others out as much as i can...even with my Pink Panties showing while getting a fill...HA HA!!! Take Care!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I'm the owner/moderator of the LDNForFibro group. I want my group to be open to slightly off topic posts: ie posts that discuss what else can also be used with LDN such as alternative med, diet and such. Also on my group I will allow subjects including prayer requests because I believe the power of the mind is also an amazing healer and can be part of alternative medication. If you would be interested in belonging to a group that discusses these things along with the benefits of LDN, please feel free to join us.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 *I want to add my 2 cents worth to the comments about off topic material on this LDN website. I agree that many and especially large OT posts are a distraction. But since LDN is **usually **not a stand alone treatment, it is very educational to learn about other things too. Anything that will enhance LDN working better can be very beneficial. However, I do suggest that these OT comments be very brief. I appreciate it when people give links for additional information. But to just suggest that someone go elsewhere and not at least hint as to what else could be helpful, robs us of possible additional channels to explore. There is a happy medium somewhere. P.
