I Was Wondering Why People Sign Up For This Site But Then Never Get On It?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

As I go through to meet others I notice there are so many people on the site that havent been on for months.I wonder why they even sign up or why they dont take their names off. If I see they havent been on for awhile I dont respond to them. I can understand a few days or a week but not month at a time. This site is really helping me. Im thankful its here. Its helping me feel so not alone. I was just wondering whats up.

Hi, I am one of those people who is on and off. This site is tremendously helpful and I have loved how supportive everyone is of each other. Why I am a more sporadic contributor is that sometimes I can only handle so much. There are times when logging in is just too much with everything else in life that is going on. Doesn't mean that I don't appreciate it, need it or mean to be disrespectful. I hope that this community understands that. I certainly understand and don't take it personally. We are all here for each other no matter what that means in our journey. At least, that is my little ole' opinion. I hope that helps provide a perspective? :)

No idea. I've noticed the same thing. Maybe they are still afraid to step forward and talk to people. Personally I tried several other sites and they were all basically just a bunch of people complaining and feeling sorry for themselves. It was very depressing. Not like on here at all. Everyone on here offers info, assistance, and we all try to lift each other up and cheer for each other.

Painwarrior. I wasnt prying or trying to make anyone feel bad!! It was a simple question. I didnt know it was a status thing. I just thought it was a support thing for those who wanted to. I just learned to use the computor a few months ago and found this site. Happy I did. Ive had Fibro over 20 yaers along with seere migraines that put me down for days at a time. My friends and family dont get it. These people do. So know that if you ever need anyone we are here............

I am only able to access on the mobile app. I would love to be able to send a message to those on my team. Never looked at it as a status thing. Not everyone can be on the computer for any length of time or at all. Haven't used a computer in over 11 yrs. The mobile and computer apps are different. At least that's how it seems to me. We shouldn't feel bad because we can't get on the site for awhile. I'd love to be able to talk to my team members. Unfortunately, I should have written down the user names. With fibro it's not always easy to remember. :-)
