To All Guests. . .Please Read

If you have CFIDS/ME/FIBRO, please consider our site as a source of support,caring, and information. Also friendship.

Please bear with us during this time of fluctuation. . . I really need this forum, but am not here as often as I should be. Computer is down and just some really hard times right now.

Others are struggling to keep their jobs (a milestone I'm past, thankfully I guess ) others are in the early stages of marriage, going back to school, training for triathalons,or generally out there striving for goals that would be assumed too lofty for us.

There's a lot of life going on between the lines of these posts and shouts. I log in and am sometimes mortified by the date of the last post, so far back in the rearview mirror. . . But I am as guilty as anyone. We often logon, find no new posts, and log back out. Just so busy TRYING. to live our lives.

You see, we really NEED YOU to become a part of our fellowship and contribute NEW BLOOD and new life to our forum. In the wake of the CDC and the NIH (US) asking us to kindly remove ourselves from the blood donor pool, here is a place that is welcoming your new blood, in the form of your heartfelt posts and participation in our forum and our lives.

We do not encourage strife or controversy. We all strive to meet and share at a common ground, though we come from very diverse backgrounds, beliefs, lifestyles, and circumstances.

I don't want to lose my Blue Butterflies, which is essentially my SOLE SUPPORT in the midst of this illness. I DO NEED more souls actively on here. . . I MISS YOU FAE KITTY. ..UPNORTH... MS. B. ...ARGY. .. BEN(!!!!!!!!!)... MUMMY MEG. .. CGSTAR.... .......ALL OF YOU.

I'm not selling tickets for guilt trips, but if you're buying, I'll buy one too.

Please, please, please, new people, sign on! We won't bite.

I agree whole heartedly Susana!! It would be nice to have a few more people on this forum (that being said, I don't wish at all there were a few more people with M.E./CFS ). This has been such a great place for support and friendship for me but not lately as it's just too quiet...I realize most of us have stopped really using it.

I second your motion. If you are a visitor to here, please feel welcome to post and read

Hey Guys!

I just wanted to mention that there are several sites out there for support regarding ME/CFS and that this is just the one we prefer. For those of you visiting, give us a try... We're a close group of people that help each other through the challenges of living with what we do. If you like it here, feel free to register and start chatting! We're always happy to meet new people.

I see we have a lot of guests visiting, but no newcomers out of that mix.

Please sign up, its free, and we need you. Besides support and information, we also have games, like I Spy, and Three Word Story, and lots of others. With some new members, maybe we can start them up again, and even keep them going.

I don't know why guests are not signing up. Its completely confidential, you don't have to share any more of yourself, your life, or your story than you want to. It really is safe and friendly, with boundaries. If you have CFIDS, Fibro,ME, etc, PLEASE JOIN US.

You are always welcome here.

C'mon, potential Butterflies! In the past 24 hours over 100 people have visited this site, yet we only have one new member.

It's easy. AND FREE. And confidential. At least if you won't sign up, type in a quick shout to tell us why not. We would greatly appreciate it.
