"Just diagnosed finally with FM and newly being medicated..." (Blvnurdrms)

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."

This group feels like a ghost town, where did everyone go. I have brandijo and steve with me but everyone else is gone. I know we are all cured of our drug problems. Where is everyone, what is keeping you so busy that You can't say Hi to us here. Even everyone's favorite member Markm has disappeared, well he does show up once in awhile. Wolhuter was in the hospital, Yvonne went to Maine few weeks ago and disappeared, Melanye has been sick w/ migraines, Jocelyn has disappeared, devilustangel where are you. I recently heard from jcbikermom after several months, she is having problems so I told her this is where you come. xplicitkontent has everyone worried, where are you, last we heard her friend was missing and see bought a bag of H and disappeared. I do receive several PM's but the post's are empty.

There are members joining but not writing anything about themselves or in the posts, have no idea what kind of help they are looking for.

Is it because of the holidays, everyone is too busy. Just drop in and say Hello or Happy HolidaysWink Wink

anamore, It is a very busy time of year for most people. It's also a very depressing time of year for a lot of people. Even if they don't show up here a lot, I know a lot of members do stop in and read the post to see what is going on.

Don't worry, people are out there that need support and I'm sure they will be back.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the reassurance, some are coming back slowly. It probably is because of the holidays, they are either busy being happy or being depressed. What a time of year that causes both emotions.

okay its happening again, where did everyone go. no emails, no problems sent in today, Yvonne has been sick for awhile, like last time its me and BrandiJo, come on people wake up and update us on your progress or whatever is going on. I would like to talk to someone. And the Family is wondering why I set up a Family if there is no one to help or talk to. There are members reading the posts but they are not stopping in to say HELLO, so come on today stop in

I am back although not 100% there yet. I wish the people reading felt like they had some input into some of our discussions. Even if they don't I would like them to just say hi. Beisdes looking for support here I was also looking for friendship. I have found both here. I am blessed.
