MDJunction to me

candjdog"MDJ is a second home to me. It is a place where I find unconditional support, where I never have to explain myself, and where I have the opportunity to use my experience to help others. Itıs a warm, caring place.
I feel so vulnerable in the world without others who understand me, but MDJ offers a safe haven for me. It inspires me to be a better person, a healthier person. Thank you MDJ (candjdog)

Hi everyone! I just wanted to announce the we have a new co-leader, and I'd really like you to help me in welcoming her. You all should know HapiCat by now--she's been hanging around here quite a bit.

She has an intro post up, and she now has a leader post up. If you need to know anything more about her, of course, just ask. If one of us can't be reached, chances are, the other can. Like me, HapiCat has both FMS and CFS, plus a number of other conditions. She can be found here, like me, most days.

If you need anything from either one of us, feel free to send either a PM or make a post for anything you need! And please, please make HapiCat welcome here!

Hugs,

Just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen.

I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help. I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days.

Something has changed within me/Something is not the same/I'm through with playing by/The rules of someone else's game/Too late for second-guessing/Too late to go back to sleep/It's time to trust my instincts/Close my eyes and leap...I'm through accepting limits/Cuz someone says they're so/Some things I can not change/But till I try I'll never know/Too long I've been afraid of/Losing love I guess I lost/Well if that's love/It comes at much too high a cost/I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity/Kiss me good-bye I'm Defying Gravity/I think I'll try Defying Gravity/And you won't bring me down...

Hi and thanks everyone! I am so happy to be here for y'all and to be able to add my support to this wonderful group.

Please do not hesitate to PM if you need anything or just need a friend.

I have been dealing with FMS/CFS for many years started in my teens (I'm 41) and in 96 I was diagnosed with both FMS/CFS. I have all those ups and downs and the roller coaster of crazy symptoms.

Hoping we all have a good week!

Peace & Hugs

Cat

"I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road...
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now" Eminem Not Afraid
