Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

Went to Neurologist on the 4th of may. I had a seizure in his office. He told me to go home I would be fine. Go ahead and take up to 8mg of Ativan in a 24 hour period. I take that crap and I am a sloth. He told me to come back and see him in a month. I walked out and didn't look back. My 18 year old daughter was with me, and took me over to the hospital. I am so out of control it's not funny.

Bad news, good news, and more good news

Sep 24 2010

Fiance just had an emergency triple bypass. Good news is he is on his way to recovery after a 2% chance of making it. Other good news is I got another MRI (3T) not sure what that is, and next week I am getting a 24 hour eeg so that they can figure out what the heck is going on. Trying to stay upright to take care of fiance and myself too. Wish us luck and keep us in your prayers. So far so good. :)
