Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

Sylvia4648"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)

today is trigger point injection day. I get about 25 in my upper back, shoulders and neck. I really just want to get the feeling back in my fingers. It's just so weird not having feeling in my hand. I'm just glad school got cancelled tonight so I don't have to go right after the doctors like usual.

What med do they inject you with? I get a steroid injections in my hip. Not nearly as many as what you had though. I can't imagine having 25 of them! Ouch!

I AM glad that they are helping. Smile
