Re: Re: Useless trivia but something to pass the time

[Guest guest]

Hi

You are correct. I post things on here that has nothing to do with RA

because so many times I have nothing to post that does have to do with

RA and I find humor to be one of the most effective ways I have to deal

with my pains and depression. I am sorry if I offended you and if the

other list members feel the same way and tell me they prefer me to stop

I will do so.

There are many, many members on this list who are much more qualified

than I am to talk about this disease because they have either had it

longer, taken the time to do more research on it or have a stronger

network of medical caregivers than I do. Since I lack all of the above

I try to contribute in the way I can, which I feel is a positive way

and hopefully not a critical way.

Again, I apologize if I offended you or anyone else. Please, if other

group members are also offended and wish me to stop posting the things I

do post let me know and I will.

If there is something specific you are wanting to know and you ask a

question then I am sure you will get a lot of useful and knowledgeable

answers. And a lot of caring and compassionate people will come forth

to support you.

From what I have seen on this list, someone is facing an issue, asks a

question and then a discussion is started and we all get on with our

lives until the next time someone needs advice. In the meantime there

is not a lot of chatter and I take advantage of that time to let the

people here know that I am thinking of them by trying to bring a smile

to their face with some humor.

I will go back to my lurking corner now and wait for your replies.

I have no idea what’s happened to

this board because it used to be pretty active. Maybe if you would post a

comment or question relating to RA you could get an answer. I’m pretty

well controlled with Methotrexate and Remicade and I’ve had this for

almost 5 years so I don’t have many questions. However, I do like to

read what others have to say and offer my opinion on many things. God bless.

Re: Useless trivia but something to pass the time

I can get useless trivia anywhere. I thought that I could get

USEFUL information about Rheumatoid Arthritis. The past few weeks I have

seen so much that has nothing to do with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Just

me. I am new to this.

Hi, You are right to keep the humor going. After all, isn't laughter the best medicine? I would like you to keep the humor going. Some people may not appreciate it, but as their disease progresses they will find out that they will learn to enjoy having something to laugh about. You keep it up girl!!!!

Hi, I've liked the jokes you post so well I've forwarded them on to people on my email list. I hope you continue to do so. It kind of helps even if it is for just a minute. Thanks, Susie beth haven <mayfrog1963@...> wrote: hi i like to read things that make me smile. you should keep on

Welcome and I agree that there hasn’t

been much RA discussion lately. However, I do think humor also helps our

disease but should not shut out medical discussions.

The muscle weakness and tremors don’t

sound like RA to me (but I’m not medically trained). They may be part of

another autoimmune disease like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia. If

our autoimmune system is out of whack it often shows up as more than one

disease. Fortunately many of them are treated essentially the same way. A

site I like for general information about RA is http://www.arc.org.uk/about_arth/booklets/6033/6033.htm

and I hope it helps you. If you tell us more about your disease and treatment

someone may be able to offer suggestions that you can discuss with your

doctor. God bless.

Eileen,

I am also

new to this and I would really like to hear more about RA. I have a very

aggresive form, and I just want to hear of some good ole advice. I am having a

really hard time this morning with muscle weakness and tremors. Does anyone

else have that problem?
