  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Does anyone on here suffer from Fibromyalgia?

    If I have learned one thing in all of this medical mess, it is the need to very much think as the apostle Paul did. He extolls us in 1 Thess 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus”....and in Phil 4:4 “Rejoice in...

    Sacroiliac Joint Troubles...

    I could not say for certain, but it might be worth a visit to a capable physio to check your SIs (and potentially the rest of your pelvis) for alignment anyway. Also the physio may have some strategies to take pressure off the areas affected by osteoarthritis.

    Does anyone on here suffer from Fibromyalgia?

    This is very true! I have also found another particular complication is that when I see a doctor, I almost invariably have to educate them (respectfully of course ) on what fibromyalgia actually is. Unless you find a particularly well educated GP you tend to have to overcome a lot of...

    Sacroiliac Joint Troubles...

    As a fibromyalgia sufferer I regularly have issues with my SI joints. Although SIs only move millimetrically often one of mine gets stuck in an elevated position causing a very painful bout of bursitis affecting the trochanter as well. As a result of this and other issues I have found myself a...
