Why wear a ribbon?

  "I been through one on Mother's Day of 2010" (kcrispy21)

MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many." (djfilippone)

Hello. We were diagnosed right around the same time. I seem to be getting a little worse too. I think it's cuz I don't exercise enough. Just don't have the lung power but I should probably at least try. I did buy one of those balls and a Yoga tape and they are sitting next to my tread mill, so what does that tell you LOL. I'm glad I found this group so I have some friends that understand what this is like.
