Why wear a ribbon?

"I wear my ribbon with pride to help raise awareness and to fight the fight again..." (friesians13)

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."

I am 46 yrs old and when I was 9yrs old I realized I was Gay, I could not tell my mother she was very bitter of the fag (her words)she divorced my father, I called him and talked to him for the first time in 8yrs when I came out to him he came and took me from my mothers house to his soon many old men arrived at his apt they locked me in a room and did things to me, then one of them drove me to Polk Street in S.F. and kicked me out of the car. My mother knew he was a CHILD rapist ( my father) and said he wasn't doing that anymore, I am so much better than all that stuff and find myself a stronger person I survived as a 12 yr old prostitute, until I got established at temp agencies to get off the street but I caught hepititus A they froze my blood for the future so in 1980 when I tested + for HIV they went back and tested the blood from me at 12 and I had HIV and hep A B C. I now work in the health care industry and have graduated from HOME CARE and PERSONAL Assistant Academy called TAPCA. I enjoy caring for people and find it to be VERY rewarding

well I called my Dr. and told him that the second set antibiotics did not work to get rid of the cough and gross stuff I cough up. so I am getting a chest Xray on Monday. It's not like I feel real bad, but it needs to be addressed none the less
