Why wear a ribbon?

  "Green ribbon For olivia and jacob with Mitochondrial disease" (Angelsmito)

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."

I finnally got a letter today from bluecross blueshield. Sent me some kind of pre existing crap. If they consider me to have a preexisting condition for mental health I will be in eligible until 02/2013. I haven't seen my pdoc in almost a year. I'll have to call the cowards Monday I guess.
