Why wear a ribbon?

 
 "I wear this for my son." (kavcam)

MDJunction to me

jpcrps"When I found MD Junction, I was in the beginning stages of RSD/CRPS. I was scared, lacked knowledge about the condition, and felt very alone.

MD Junction changed all of that for me. I found friendship and terrific information from people who had first-hand knowledge of this syndrome. It was and still is a big part of my life.

MDJ was my first step on the journey of grief; from denial to acceptance. I am now inspired to help others by sharing this amazing site and sharing my own experiences. I am very impressed that one forum site can provide hope and inspiration to people suffering from so many different conditions. I am proud to be a part of this community.
~ Jenny" (jpcrps)

Jim's battling HE at the moment.....gotten worse progressively over the past week or so but still taking his medicine, eating, and having bowel movements. He's had the hiccups since late last night. Any connection or just one more annoyance?

Hi Kris - that's really interesting and helpful! Thanks, Ru
Remember this: "HOPE is a good thing. Maybe the best of things" (from the move Shawshank Redemption). There's ALWAYS hope!

The hiccups stop and then he starts up again. Only problem seems to keep him from sleeping sound. Just been a weird day.

Hiccups came and went all night long. He's still sound asleep and hiccuping! Don't think I'll make the 10:45 service. Was up most of the night. Hopefully I'll make 6:00. Against Jim's doctor's orders, going to tell them he HAS to come down on the pain patch tomorrow. This latest spiral of HE began just as soon as the fentenyl increased. With each patch, he's slid further into this episode.
