Why wear a ribbon?

"My partner of 8 years fights against bipolar everyday" (ljones83169)

MDJunction to me

"When you have an illness with the name "Non-Familial Dysautonomia" (a name that most people, and even doctors, have never heard of), you need a network
of people who understand the name and the symptoms/issues that come with it.
MDJunction led me to that network of people during a very confusing and sickly time. For this I am thankful. And for this reason I try my best to give back to other members the same care and help that I received through MDJunction." (MissNikkiAnn)

My acne is so bad from lithium antibiotics don't touch it. Some of the acne fighting systems help some.
