If you find it's dull, post something.
And perhaps it isn't the limelight we're seeking. Maybe we post a lot because this is the first time we felt like we've been able to talk about our illness in a supportive environment.

Please don't be upset. I look at you as a friend here and I don't want you chased away. But I do get how you're offended with the "limelight" thing. I find that either new people are really lost and need a lot of support and ask more questions (which should be encouraged!) or they are too shy to post at all. But your posts always make sense and add valid questions to the board. Don't get discouraged from what one person says. I almost tossed in the towel a few wks ago over a nasty reply to one of my posts but I just move along.
This forum is for support and to some of us it's all we have. So if someone's going to speak negatively then they should just not say anything at all. First rule of manners we learn as children. Shouldn't be hard people!
In my eyes and many others, you're all welcome! The more people, the more support. And i value the relationships I've made along the way. Whether they're new or old!
