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.
Early on here, I learned that the 'other' discussion headings didn't get much traffic. I'd be putting a question up and wouldn't get replies, and took it kind of personally until I looked closer and realized that everyone seems to stick mainly to the general board. SO I just tend to put all my posts on here if I hope anyone will read and respond.
Can't we just let things go, ignore posts we have no interest in and answer those that appeal to us? Do we really have to be 'policed' so much?
It's disheartening.

Sorry if it seems I'm picking apart your suggestion but you did say you suggested to DS and I think where it affects our group and you posted it in the discussion that you might want our input on the subject.
I never wanted any of the upper boards to begin with and would be happy with ALL the games and OT topics being brought down here again. The games and OT posts would probably take over as most like to have fun here and all the other topics (including the Fibro ones) would get pushed to the next pages. Be careful what you wish for.
Why all my replies so far to your suggestions.
I don't feel the need to retype them but if you would like me to I can cut and paste them all again.
Hugs & Prayers,
Mary
I check my groups daily, but don't necessarily post in them. I usually post on topics because I have limited time with my current family situation and my son needing to use my pc. But I would hope that no one would get offended at what I do here, because I mean NO OFFENSE to anyone - EVER :0) I just love and respect all of you for living in awful pain and for helping me through and with it all - I really appreciate ALL OF YOU!!!
Much love and hugs to ALL OF YOU,

3 Years ago this board got REAL Ugly...I am Happy those days are Over..I am Happy we have carrie..not Happy with all the separation..but I Understand WHY it had to Finally happen.
Love and hugs !
I haven't seen any of your off topic post moved into the off topic section. I could be wrong.
But you might have a different view if your post were constantly being moved and they were not off topic but were fibro related.

This was a very Busy, Active Board....we discussed Everything from Soup to Nuts right here as it all affected us.
I TRY to steer clear of Controversial Subjects that get the board in an UPROAR.
I pretty much Post everything right here..if something gets Moved, so be it. This isn't MY Board...I don't get to make up the Rules.
But it would be nice if the "rules of the road" were applied fairly to all members and not twisted by other members for their own reasons
Hugs & Prayers,

This did not offend me, even though I do not recognize this day. This post was not moved to Off Topic, even though it has nothing to do with fibro, which incidently, was FINE with me, and is still in the main category. (There was also a 2nd post for the same topic.)
So I would expect that this Christmas, if someone posts with a title similar to: A blessed Christmas to all... that this would not be considered Off Topic, and need to be moved there.
If we need to segregate, then the board should be consistent.
Of course, I wasn't here when ... and I've been on other boards from their inception and know the proprietary way the charter members might feel... a little defensive for the way it's been.
I appreciate the explanation of the way the 'abuse' button works. I truly am an "inquiring mind" jsut wanting clarification.
Sunsetzzs, I agree with you 100% there.
Your reply #5 it just struck me as odd. copied from your reply
" I send ALL questionable posts AND posts I've closed to DS for review (when I say that, I really DO). It is up to THEM to keep the post closed, move the post or delete"
Why if you send all post to DS for review and it is up to them to move them and up to them to to keep it closed.
Did you tell the members of the last three post to repost. The first two post you told them to repost to OT and the last one you told to repost to main board (a bit strange to close a post on the main board and tell them to repost to main board)
If your sending them to DS and it's up to DS to move them or not why are you telling them to repost in OT or anywhere? Isn't that up to DS based on your reply #5?
