Thank you what amazing people you are. xxx

I just wanted to say how blown away I am by the support from you over the last day, I have had the most amazing messages on the forum and PMs you are the kindest people I have ever met (even though I have only met you all virtually). The moderator froze the post yesterday and I then asked her to remove it as I didn’t want to cause any bad feeling on the forum as people need the support of each other to get through what can be the daily battle of whatever kind of Arthritis they have. I would have liked to thank you all personally by name but am unable to remember all the names of people who replied so for that I apologies (will reply to PMs personally).

This is a public forum and with that in mind I suppose run the risk of conflict at different times, although I stand by my post and opinions I think it would be safe to say that we all have different opinions and different views on things and also different things going on in our lives that effect us individually so I think we should all put it down to ‘difference of opinions’.

Now last night I was seriously considering leaving the forum as I only ever joined to talk to people who understand what I go through and after thinking about this overnight I realised that since joining the forum earlier in the year that is all I have had, in fact I have met (virtually), spoke to and been given this in abundance (and like to think I have given it all back) along with bucket loads of support, virtual hugs and tips to list just a few. Without considering the huge amount of laughs normally reading a certain persons posts - rehab (keep em coming)!

With that in mind I am going to stay on the forum, as the positives and support are very important to me, I will prob take more of a comment role on others posts. Again I would like to thank you all very much for your kind, wonderful words you are all amazing so from one Arthritis sufferer to another the biggest THANK YOU I could ever give. xxxxxxx

Dear Anky

I am so pleased you are staying. Hurrah! You come across as a very sensible person and this forum would have lost out, if you had left and probably, you too.

It is so good that it has been sorted out amicably and we can continue doing what we do on here, help and support each other and also have a good laugh.

Love

Hi Anky

Very glad to see that you are staying on the forum..

I was appalled at what happened yesterday and hope that the individual (s) concerned think twice before voicing unhelpful opinions in future..

Well I rest my case, you people are amazing!

Thank you Bertyboy, Kath, Elna, Star2001, CJHunter, Mig, Val and Marion thank you so very, very much for your support it means more than you will ever know.

I am feeling much better today with the support from this forum and the PMs I have received. Today is a new day (although nearly over) I will just refrain from posting on a certain individuals posts. I put this post to draw a line under it and that's what I have done.

Thank you all again. Xxx
