Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 It is unacceptable to use this language. This group is a support system for people with arthritis. I have never experienced anything but thoughtful and kind messages from Harold. I certainly hope that your hostility did not cause the new members to leave. It is your choice not to take meds. If you want your opinion and choice to be respected you must respect the opinions and choices of others. Many members come to this group in search of friends and support. They do not need hostility and anger. If you feel the members of this group are "holier" than you, maybe you should leave. in VAaclavern33@... wrote: Re: Hives!!

God bless.________________ It is choice. Also opinions are like assholes, we all have one and advice is like candy we can take it or leave it but it not a necessity! I have been off meds as long as a year with no problems. I sometimes wonder if he docs gave me the wrong Dx!! LOL But that is another chapter for another time. I have no damage....and I am not worried. I really can not afford meds....so there is no use worrying over something I can not afford. I did get some free meds like the Humira...but dang...the crap burns like acid and does nothing for me but cause pain!!!! And quite frankly I am tired of people and there holier than though attitudes telling me what to do. So if you are on meds and can't do without them and have money to burn...good for you. But after all the side effects and serious problems I have had with most of this crap!!! I ain't taking them!!! PERIOD!!! End of conversation!!! Go wag you finger in someone elses face!
