Sorry for the delayed response to this comment, however I only read the BB when I have nothing better to do because I too have become disgusted with the way some are treated. It is like being back in high school. Some belong to the “clique”, others do not.

When I first discovered this BB is was a dream come true. It was wonderful, caring people. who shared something with me. It provided me with an outlet that I hadn’t been able to find anywhere else. It was informative and reassuring. I was not alone.

Somewhere along the line I started to feel alone on the BB. Strange feeling. I had so much in common with all of you, so much to share, yet I felt shunned.

Be good to each other – this could be a great BB.

I have to agree with FYI. The board does seem somewhat of a “clique”. When I see folks crying out for someone to recognize their problems and no one answers…

Fortunately my bout with Graves Disease hasn’t been as serious as many who write to the BB here … but I’ve felt shunned and ignored like FYI.

Guess I need to fess up about not posting answers to some who have asked questions of this board. The main reason is that how do you tell someone that they may have literally years of ups and downs in front of them. I am in my sixth year of graves complete with the eye complications and surgeries and am not finished yet. It is difficult for me to give hope to those just diagnosed and I admire those of you who always seem to be able to be positive.
