Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
I am sorry, but I don't quite get what you are trying to accomplish with the bumpfest. I could be wrong, but to me it looks like the only things the bumpers want us to write on this forum is happy stuff. I haven't been the victim of bumps yet, but the one from mominator tonight made me feel bad for the person she was bumping, like her feelings were nothing. I realize that everyone would like to only see happy things, but fibromyalgia isn't always a happy thing...atleast in my eyes(and my aching body!) Sometimes people with this awful crap need to vent. Maybe some of these friends have nowhere else to do that?! So, if we are not suppose to answer any rants or help anyone that is having a bad day, how are we helping out our fellow Fibromites? We can go anywhere on the web for happy things to make ourselves feel better, if that is what we are looking for. But, where do we go to talk about how much pain we are in,problems we are having with family, jobs and friends, the losing our mind feelings we get from the brainfog, and just the comradeness(don't know if that's even a word! lol!) of being able to express our feelings with others who have been there and to learn from others experience. Now, maybe I am taking this all wrong, and I hope I am, but I don't know if I would want to participate in a forum that only allows happy posts when this is definately NOT a happy situation. To the others on this forum who have been bumped to get you off the page because your post wasn't about fun stuff, feel free to email me and I will be more than happy to hear you out, because I know everyone needs to rant occasionally...including myself in this post. Lol! Please stop bumping people, it causes bruising! Gentle hugs to you all! Levisgranny
I understand some dont like the negavitivy here but its not really very adult like to pump old posts just to push something further and further. In essense doing this could very well bump an important post that a new member posts. If its a post that is about fibro and didnt get any responses or was posted late at night and maybe didnt get seen then i can see bumping.
I for one would not sit and waste my time bumping posts from way back just to get what some thought were negative to a previous page, and i agree that would start yet more problems, everyone here deserves to be heard, EVERYONE, and bumping their post to the 3rd or 4th page isnt right.
again, if its an important post then i agree, but not in the manner things were bumped the last 2 days. Its very mean and childish and may chase others away if it was their post that got bumped that was maybe from a newbie.
Recently i feel like im at work with 3 rooms full if teenagers that dont want to listen and feel like they dont know the meaning of life and common sense.
the bumping needs to stop, we all need to get back to helping and supporting each other instead of all the games that are still continueing.
have a great day everyone. its friday.
