Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

mabri"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

Anyone else have depression due to pain? I have Fibro and I get so tired of hurting!!...that it's depressing! I get so down about it at times, knowing I am going to live the rest of my life in pain. To top it off, I have DDD to look forward to. I've decided to see a rheumy. The pain is affecting my quality of life. Sometimes I can hardly walk. I have always resisted taking meds so bad, now, I'm at the point I just don't care. I have got to start feeling better and living! I take an antidepressant, mood stabalizer and a sleeping pill. I'm ready for something for pain. I feel so guilty...I'm only 40!!!!

Hi don't feel guilty and I too get depression due from pain and other health related issues. I have multiple sclerosis and sometimes the pain is overwhelming and I don't or can't get out of bed. I take neurontin for the pain and it does help with the legs. I'm on a mood stabalizer as well and if you need to have some sort of pain meds ask. You should not have to be in pain all the time. I'm 35 and hate it too, but I try to really focus on other things besides the pain. I know that's hard because sometimes that's all you can feel. I hope you feel better soon and I'm sending big feel better hugs to you!!!
