Keith Cohen replied to HDC's discussion Anxiety symptoms overlap with FM?"Joe,

Rick said… - Hey, thanks for your comment. Yes, I agree with your assessment that this site's activity is rather sporadic. I have found that the majority of members like to
"dabble" in the site rather than whole-hearted participation. This is probably due to the fact that it can be depressing to read about fibro every day. I know that that's how I feel personally. I try my best to not let fibro consume my life any more than it already has. That said, I think it is important for us to have conversations and keep in touch. I wanted this site to be the forum for that - whether you visit once a day or once a month!
