There are a few (quite a few, actually) members on here going through some pretty crappy (no pun intended...but it's there anyway...) times right now... really down in the dumps... Jettalady, MisB, Jerman... just a few that come first and foremost to the top of my mind... but so many out there... trying to be extra supportive on the site without letting anyone else know how much they feel like they are hurting right now.

I think some of us try to support others rather than trying to deal with your own crap...but WE need hugs too....

So whether you are supporting or suffering, feel free to join the hug...

That is so sweet of you to do that! I was just coming on to tell everyone that I may be absent off here, until my cold blows over and pray my crohns symptoms dont go any worse!

Funny, we dont make money being on here but I feel like it is my job to look after you guys and here you are doing it back!

Makes it all worth while but I was on here so late last night welcoming newbies I let time get away on me so I am going to relax and go to bed fairly early tonight.

Not to worry, my hubby is looking after me bought me aloe kleenex, chest cold remedies, and cough candies, and chicken noodle soup and hugs, and kisses cause he gave me this cold so he isnt worried of catching it.


Thanks Silver...(((((( Hugs))))))) We need a hug smiley,,,,Ding!!!!:)
 
Big hugs to all our crohnie friends the world over, wherever you may be, we're all united!
United we stand
divided we fall

Wow. You have no idea how much I needed a hug right now. This is awesome! And a big hug to everyone else, too. This was a great idea Silver. Thank you.

hehe i was the next person, i got the Silverhug :D

((hugs)) back to you, and to everyone - it has been a struggle of a week for many of our dear members here, but we're still here for each other, pulling together, and giving hugs - it's not all bad :)
 
:hug::hug::hug::hug: :kiss: :ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug: :kiss: :hug::hug::hug::hug:

to dingbat and silvermoon!!!!

AND to everyone else who passes this way. must be something in the atmosphere because most everyone I've talked to this week, on and off this forum, are having a rough time. we all have to stick together and we can get through anything!!!!
 
Hey, you guys are right, of course! :)

Many of you that have been members here a lot longer than me and many of the newbies are having a hard time right now. It never fails to amaze and inspire me the way you can rise above your own adversity and be there for each other. I hope you are all proud yourselves 'cause you should be! and I sure as hell am. So I'm sending MEGA HUGS out there to everyone.

:ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug:

And as far as I'm concerned you all deserve an award.

:award2::award2::award2:

Take care, you guys rock! :headbang:
Dusty
 
This thread seems totally appropriate for me at the moment as this last week has been a bit iffy, but all comes to a head tomorrow I find out whether i'm healthy or in a flare and whether I get to keep my job D:

Huge huge hugs to everyone who's going through a rough patch at the moment or who just needs a hug :) :ghug:
 
:hug:Hugs to everyone. What a lovely supportive forum. EVERYBODY seems so genuine and wonderful. We are very lucky that we have found each other.
:hug: PS Loving these smilie things.
 
Awwwwww ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Sharon))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hope things turn around soon for you..... :rosette2:

((((((Crohn's Forum Members)))))))

Ahhh the feel of pleasurable hugs. Intoxicating! Thank you all for your hugs.
 
YAY!!! We gotta hug outta Joeseph!!!!! :ghug: :ghug:

*Silver goes about her day feeling warm and cared for.....*


You guys really do rock.... whenever I have had enough of the "stupid people", I come here for a moment, read the posts of support and warm words of encouragement...and it's like taking a deep breath.... I find myself calming and thinking... "Cool, there are others out there like me..."... and it makes my day.....

Thank you..........
 
thank you guys for the hug. i wont go into to detail, but i am really struggling at thee moment, i am finding it so hard to carry on. thanks again for the hugs.
 
Haven't been around much for a couple of days. Glad the HUG thread is still going strong. So, as I take the hugs I need right now, and I will glady replenish a few.....group hug.jpg
 
So cute Ms B!!!!!!!!! I just talked to Joan and gave her hugs, she was in a hurry, and I too am not feeling up to par but I am ok, my usual cramps.

Glad for the group hugs and Silver so proud of a newbie joining us in hugs!:ghug:

:calmo: I have two tubes so I will never run out, but only used it twice last week, no Crohnie can be without it! Puts out that 'ring of fire' ;)
 
Glad both of you have joined this forum, we are richer because of it! Megan, you gotta beat your mom!! Race is on... LOL

:ywow:Meg has no chance of beating me - posts wise. She is too busy with facebook and MSM. Because I don't have either of those. I am here. :D

Albeit too much at the moment - you should see my ironing pile and I've not even filled the dishwasher up or walked the dogs :ywow:

Better go xxxxxxx
 
Hey guys,

There's been a quite a few of you having a rough time of late, veterans and newbies alike...............hospitalisations, tests, surgeries, meds not doing their job and lots of feelings of fear and frustration. Time for a group hug again!........................

:ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug:

Feeling "squishy and huggy" today :redface: :redface: (hubby calls it being a suck...lol) ... so I thought I'd share some squishy hugs with you all..... Pass 'em around.... we can all use them....
 
Thanks for the (((((hugs))))) I really needed one. I started Remicade 2 days ago, and I have had some horrible stomach pains :( Hope this doesn't continue.:ghug:

:hug:
 
lseibert.. sorry you are in pain, but the Remicade takes a while to kick in. I am sending you big ((((hugs))) hang in there, hopefully you get better soon!
 
I needed a big hug tongiht. I'm glad I read this post. I'm giving one back right now.
 
I am new here and have learned so much in a very short time. I've had this dreadful disease for so long I don't remember my life before I was sick. My heart goes out to all of you and my hugs too.

I've come into contact with some great people and appreciate those who have made me feel welcomed. I'm a police chaplain and know how to be supportive but I'm not so good and asking for support when I really need it. And boy do I need it!

(((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))) to all.
Ann
 
I'll give everyone a big <<<<< HUG >>>>>.

Okay, who hugged me so hard that it made me shart!!!!!
 
WE all need hugs sometimes, even if you are not a huggy type person, the endorphins it releases and calmness. My husband always gives me a hug, nothing is better!

So giving all you guys a hug:hug:
 
Thinking of you all and sending hugs your way to hopefully make your day a little brighter...........................


:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:

What a good idea for a thread!!

Needed this too, thanks Dusty!
:ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug:

Some hugs for the rest who need them too.
 
It's great to find a place that, while everyone is going through their own stuff, people still have time to give out great big hugs!!!

HUGS BACK TO EVERYONE!
 
Oh my, there are many members on here facing very tough times at present. Those facing life changing operations, those that are scared of what the future holds, those that feel that hope is lost, those that feel lost and alone, those for who treatment did not hold the answers they sought and parents whose children are facing hardships in their lives that they themselves have never had to face.

Much of the time I don't have a lot to offer in terms of advice or experience but I would like to send you all truck loads of healing (((THOUGHTS))) and a massive (((GROUP HUG)))...............................

:ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug::ghug:

In awe :awe: of you all, :hug:
Dusty. xxx​
 
Sending BIG hugs back to all of those who need them...

Thanks all for the support given to me recently- 2 more sleeps and then the Colon's a 'goner'!!
 
To all my friends, to you all, a big squashy hug

:hug:

What a party we would have if only we could get together!!

Keep swimming
xxxxx :Karl:
 
Big hugs to ya all!! Some where, some time, someone needs a hug, I have been busy so just in case you think I dont love ya all I do! :) :banana:
 
I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who exist here and make this what it is. It really is so invaluable to be able to talk about what's going on and to know people are listening and understand.

Goodness knows I need that. And I need a hug, so hugs to all of you.
 
......BIG HUGS.....to all of my Crohnie friends all over the world. I am so thankful to have found all of you. You have all been a tremendous support. Means a lot to me to know that now there is a place that I can come and talk to others that know exactly what I am going through.

Thank you so much
 
I'm feeling it. Are you feeling it? I think it's time for a group hug. Can't believe how long it's been!
 
Count me in! I woulda been lost in recent months without you guys and gals - you never let me down. have a cracking weekend and special hugs to those in hospital and/or feeling poorly.
Helen xxx
 
Oh my...there are so many here going through such difficult and sad times at present...

Welshy, Littlemissh, Silver, T, Nic, Dan, Matt and Ella, J and Claire, Angie and Izzi, to name but a few. Some are in hospital and some are at home coping with flares but all are just trying to get through each day as best they can.

There are many, many newbies looking for advice, help and support. They are scared and confused at what they have been told and what the future may hold.

Then there are the many members of the undiagnosed Club. They have a test...they wait... and there are no answers. So they start all over again only to be met with disappointment after disappointment and all the while the symptoms never let them forget that something is wrong.

I think it's time for a group hug!...

Thank you so much for starting this thread Silver. I don't think I have told you how wonderfully comforting it is to see you around the traps again. Onwards and upwards mate!

Much love to all, :Karl:
Dusty. xxxxxxxx

I just wanted to say, "Thank you." I felt accepted and supported from my start in January. Love you!
 
Haven't had one of these in a while, so thought the coming holiday season might be a good reason to send one out.....


:soledance::ghug::hug::ghug::soledance:


Hoping the Holiday Season offers some rest and relief for us all......​
