Sharing and compassion

Hi All ,
I am not sure that I am in the right place for this discussion but I would just like to let it be known that I am very grateful for this site that I can come to and know that I will be welcomed to share my issues with chronic pain and illness . To know that I won’t be judged or criticized but only greeted with warmth, kindness and thoughtfulness.
At times we may need our fellow members to help to lift our spirits up with dignity and respect . This journey through illness/wellness has many struggles and lessons for us all. One of which for myself is to be kind .
All the best and as always
HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS

Hello Suzie,

I am grateful too, this site has helped me no end on my fibro journey, Whether it's just been reassuring comments, little bits of information, or indeed people like yourself who are so inspiring. Yes I have learnt a lot from here! And I am glad that I can help reassure people or just lend a friendly ear, sometimes - it is a good feeling!

Happy hugs to you, Suzie, and anyone else who needs them

Thanks Anne!!

Ps… And INDEED!!! As many of you may know that is one of my favorite words !!!

Hello Suzie

You are a wonderful person and a great inspiration to others.

Suzie, hugs to you!!!!! And anyone else here who needs them!!!

Fibro is so taxing that we don't deserve any mental torment heaped upon our physical torment. So please feel free to come here for some comfort and support! Just navigating through the day while feeling worn to the bone is something we should commend ourselves upon. And getting up again and going on again is another thing to commend ourselves upon when we are worn to the bone through our activity.

Honestly, I don't know how we do it. It takes grit and fortitude to soldier on and learn how to live with the illness. I feel like I am always finding out new things about our illness and coping with it. And it's wonderful that we come here to share our experiences so that others going through this have a figurative hand to hold when they enter our site.

Good subject and thanks for bringing it up!

Hugs again,

Jill

I share both Belinda's and purplebutterfly's sentiments. You are an inspiration to all of us here. Thank you for your positivity and perserverance of spirit, suzie.

Hugs,

Laurie
