MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunny_fly)

Hi Janmik,

Well, you can wear an Awareness Ribbon for different reasons, but I would say that the main one would be increasing the awareness for a specific health issue that you relate to.

It can be something you or someone close to you are coping with, etc.

Actually, it's a very good idea to ask some of the members why *they* wear a ribbon - I'd be happy to hear the replies - care to take this one on you and share what you find out?

warm regards,

Alon

Well it has been a bit since I was last in..sorry the fibro world,,,but I like to answer this also,,of course I wear mine for fibro and all the people out there that suffer with this,,

I wish we could wear 2,,hmm maybe I will change it up, just thought of that. I would wear one that supports Cancer as my mom died from lung cancer and although still consider myself farely young (42)lol..I have lost alot of friends to this.
