Peace!

When I came here a little over a year ago this site saved me from a lot of anguish. There was a lot of support and people were nice to each other for the most part Yes there were a few who felt they had to bash every idea, but mostly it was peaceful, helpful and caring. Where did all of that go?

If I were to come here today and not know most of you, I would run scared, not from morgellons, but from the hostility here. don't all of you realize that the peple who find this site are desperately looking for answers? We may not have the answers, but we can point them in the right direction......the treatment thread, where no one is selling them anything! They can find the most helpful things at their health food store or drugstore. (won't cost a fortune). Then if they want to look further they can do search. That is how I found you guys and how I find most of my info. Not all sites are helpful by the way. Common sense goes a looooong way. Use it! Peace my friends!

my biggest beef here is that support sites are supposed to say NICE things to each other, especialy if someone is asking for help. when i say help, i mean a simple kind gesture such as listning to the person, NOT bashing them because they dont use the same stupid products they use.
what works for one person doesnt work for another for a simple reason. were all different, some have more symptoms, some have other diseases going on too. some are in USA, some are from a whole nother part of the world! of course there is not one way to do things, not one super product that will fix us all, if it were that easy, we would be cured..
it seems to me the bashing began when the debate on dr. s was heavy.dont know if i started it, or if i just opened pandoras box, either way, nobody should have ever got mad because somebody didnt agree with the mob mentality.ya know?
i get that sites sometimes get 'clichy', and some have even mentioned being in jr high, well, as adults we should recognize stupid behavior and not do it? i dont know, im far from perfect, nobody here is perfect, anybody that expects perfection is an idiot.
i say we all shake hands, re-introduce ourselfs and start over.a SUPPORT site should be just that, a place where you can feel free to be angry, free to agree or disagree with others, free from caring about whos the popular one and who isnt.we get enough people in the real world looking at us like freaks, we shouldnt need to worry about saying the wrong thing,not on a support site.when people are angry, go ahead and vent, so long as it isnt picking on someone. and let by gones be by gones, one thing i noticed here is how long people will hold a grudge! i didnt log on for almost a week and people were still complaining about something i wrote, forgot what it was now, but im not the only one this happens to.
when people are sick, and on meds, especialy if they are trying new things, they are not always going to be in their right mind, so we say stuff we look back on and think 'OMG, i wrote that? DOH' ya know? when that happens, we should not point it out forever, let it go. sometimes we drink and drunk-post, next day we forget what we said, so why cant we just recognize that person is having a bad day and not bring it up the next day/next week? weve all done it, aint nobody perfect, so lets stop pointing out flaws and point out something, anything good.what do you all think ?
disclaimer: haha, this is meant at nobody in particular, its meant for everybody, including myself...
PEACE DAMMIT!!!

Yes Dizzy its true people come here and may be afraid because of the fighting. Thanks for the reminder.Good thread.

I think most people here are good and caring and helpful but other issues get in the way of that .....but most of us DO want to bring the support back .

Many of us ,inluding the ones fighting and myself are weary and tired of it too. Its emotionally draining for the people involved too.

And YES jane ditto on the "peace damnit" LOL

Peace and OUT as my niece loves to say.

No one likes fighting but stubborn ain't a health option.

>>I like all of what you said Dizzy thank you,...and this site should and can be as it was,...but all ,....ALL need not to say worthless things,..and respect newbie's that might blow off steam because of their having to deal with the madness of this disease,...understanding rather then nitpicking of a few words said out of frustration should be understood,...there shouldn't be no right or wrong when someone is at the brink of insanity because of this Disease,..to understand what they are dealing with is key,...when I first got this,..the 1st year or so was very frightening,...and frustrating,..but for folk's that have family it's even worse,.. folk's should always keep this in mind. xx & hugs Dizzy

Doc, if anyone else new joins and wishes that others catch morgellons I will say something. Maybe if you would refrain from revisiting everything a poster you hate and disagree with says then the site would settle down. It almost had. Then you seem compelled to dredge everything up again here. That's hardly peaceful. Maybe you like stirring the pot. We seem to have a lot of posters who enjoy that. We have all first been sick with this disease, many very sick and terrified, but not many had to take their anger out on others in this way. Thank goodness for that.

TCM it isn't Doc its you, your the one, your always making things nasty. Its YOU.

Well it almost worked for a whole day. sigh! Guess there is no need to ask for peace. Seems like a waste of time to try to get folks to get along. Yes, I understand that when someone gets this that they are besides themselves with horror and grief etc, etc. BUT, there is no place for foul language and hostility in these forums, or there shouldn't be.

If you have a point of view, express it, but for goodness sake do it without the hostile attitudes. We are adults after all. Some of us need a good old fashioned mouth wash with soap, and others need a good switching, as my Mom would have said. I am not perfect and I am not trying to be everybodies sweet, nice buddy, what I am is a christian and I believe in human kindness, (do unto others)Now that may offend some of you too. Sorry!

I come to this site to get information, and to check on how all of you are feeling, if you are doing well, or having a bad day. If you are doing well, I say Yay! If you are not, I say how sorry I am that you aren't doing well. I pray for you and I pray for me.

Most gracious Lord let me have patience and understanding of my fellow man.
I hope you are all doing well and can find peace within yourself. This is not an easy disease, and we have to deal with it the best we can. DD

T C!!... please,...I made no mention of names, or reference to you. try to post in the spirit that this post was meant for. I tried to explain to the best of my ability,.... when new folk's come here they are in a fragile state of Body & mind,...I think that was the main point I was getting to,... right or wrong,.I think in this type of situation,...things can be over looked,..and the healing for a new person can begin,..this is what I meant.

[Baraka Obam]

What I was doing today was list pictures of healing from use of GSE, that is untill the hags got apon me and try to destroy what I took the time to post for others, not them. Want peace from me, LOL, then try to be civil, I got all day all week all year to discredit everything that is said, but I try to leave your ideas alone, that is unless I have a word to put in, but I just don't hunt you down and TRY to make problems like TCM and Jane Doe.

I will if I must
