"Hello dear ones! As Paulette said, it is time for another group hug :)
An it is time to swing it out of the park too. Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior is close to winning the Best Health Blog Contest. We were number one for some hours, which proves we can actually achieve this.
Rheumatoid disease is simply NOT understood. Period. It is not talked about. It is not acknowledged. We are invisible.
It is time not to be invisible anymore.
Haven't you felt, many times, you don't have a voice, or your voice can't be heard?
This is a chance to MAKE your voice heard. Please continue to vote, once daily, until Feb 15th.
We are RA Warriors!!!

"Good morning. I wanted to remind you to vote for the RA Warrior blog. We are now 400+ points behind first place, and we only have one week to do this!!
Aren't you sick and tired of people not knowing what RA is, and saying things to you like "oh my grandmother had that in her finger", or "but you don't look sick", or "take some advil", or "its not that bad, its only arthritis", or "take a hot bath, you'll feel better"??
Wouldn't you like to shout to the world "Its RA, and here's what you need to know about it"? Wouldn't you like RA to get as much research money poured into it as diabetes, autism, and a host of other chronic diseases?
YES? Then get on this site and vote!
If you don't have facebook or twitter I'm sure you have friends that do, so ask them to get on and vote FOR you!
I simply cannot stress how vitally important this could ultimately be to the future of RA treatment, publicity, and our health!!!
So don't stand on the sidelines. Get involved and help us... help yourself!!

"Hello to everyone at the RA group! I hope you are having good days starting this year. Have you checked the Healthline blog contest? RA Warrior, one of the best RA blogs, is SECOND PLACE! We all have had to deal with absolute lack of understanding of our disease from people around us. Making it second place is a right step to increase awareness. And with your help we can make it first place. It is your chance to do something! We can achieve things if we come together. You can vote once a day until Feb 15th. Here is the link

"Dear CFS CI's(challenged individuals), Group Hug Here :-)
Just wanted to say how happy am to see all the latest activity on the board- makes me smile like a dolphin :-)- thank you all!
A very warm welcome to all new CFS CI's here too- if you have not already introduced your fine selves then please do so ;-), fabulous!
Plea to you all to be totally respectful to one another in words on the sg- think carefully about how you talk to a fellow cfs ci before you press the submit button. No one doctor knows all there is to know about CFS and two doctors may have two different theories yet there may be truth in both theories. CFS still is a very mysterious condition with too little research plus not enough concrete data- so please do not get evangelical with one another over theories or treatments !
Also, talk to each other as you would wish to be talked to yourself so if you would not want someone to say to you what you think of saying to someone else then just keep quiet, okay.
This group is a safe group so it is my mission to make it so. Also my mission to make it a group that enables CFS Ci's to think as well as act like survivors with a dynamic positive mindset.
Am aware that there are those with CFS whom have emotionally challenges too so will be sensitive to their needs too.
Let us keep this group harmonious- each play our part. Let us always be kind to one another as well as respectful and try to be as encouraging as possible.
We are all different yet we are all valuable in our own wonderful uniqueness, most definitely!!
We all have something to offer one another no matter at what stage we are at in our CFS journey or what age we may be, male or female.
No bullying or spamming will be tolerated here- just another point to mention.
Yet, on the positive side- am happy with all the great posts here especially MrsGreen- Lets Put This Burden Thing In the Past.
Sending you all my soothing gentle hugs plus warmest wishes, Namaste- the light in me honours the light in you, Love Clarita :-)(feisty yet fair GL)"
