MDJunction to me

"Md Junction to me is my safe place. A place where I can feel safe to just open up talk about everything without burdening my wife. With all my health issues its nice to know that I am not alone, suffering form fibromyalgia,depression, and costochondritis with anxiety is a nightmare. Having the great people here at MDjunction is so great its hard to put into words. I dont think I would be getting through what I am going through without this great resource. I think everyone should know about mdjunction!" (Fmsdaddy)

Hi Susan (bluephoenix) and welcome to the group. I'm sorry to hear your Fibro has gotten so much worse. It is hard to just get through a day let alone work when it's like that.

I so relate about the fog. It is maddening when I can't remember one moment to the next. If I don't write it down, I may as well have never know it. Tongue

Thankfully it isn't all the time. Well, not real bad all the time. Mine is so much worse when I am having a bad flare. Not the pain kind so much as the extreme fatigue kind. That usually happens when I over extend myself.

If it persists and you cant find a good mix of meds that help, you may want to consider filing for ssi or whatever you have in your state for disability.

Take care and hope you stay with us and let us get to know you. Smile

Hugs, Karen
