MDJunction to me

mabri"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."

How I feel


Hurting wish there was some relief

Apr 19 2011
I have been stuck in the house for over a week babying my dog because of his pancreatitis and having to feed him every hour. Today I decided to go out and do some grocery shopping, get my new charm puton my charm bracelet and have a late lunch with my adoptive mom.  I got back home after only 3 hours and just did not want to stay home so I went to my adoptive parents house for the evening.  I did not do anything strenuous, we just sat around talking. Anyway now I hurt so freaking bad. My hips and back are hurting. And I have been having this pain in my ankle that for some reason doesn't feel like the regular pain of RA or Fibro.  I sprained this ankle about 7 months ago. The pain has been on going for over a month now, especially when I flex the foot like when I bend down.  I am concerned but just don't want to go to the Doctor (which my husband calls my second home).  I am feeling a little down about everything for the last week, not sad just kinda bored with everything. Nothing seems to catch my interest as of late.  Just worried about the future and things that I need to get done before May 16th. And if I don't get my measles booster (which is taking me a lot longer than it should have-3weeks) for school, more PT observations, applications, a test to study for not including finals, regular homework, house work and I told my adoptive parents I would help them clean out their old house.  I can't start my RA treatment until a month after my measles shot.   I guess the stress of everything is causing the pain.
