Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

I think they make long straws...Then, you could leave the glass on the table.

What kind of doctor do you see? Maybe you need to find another doctor who is willing to try different meds and treatments. I'm seeing a psychiatrist and a rheumatologist. My rheumy worked with me to find the right pain meds. I'm taking Cymbalta and Lyrica and the combo works well for me. I'm glad you exercise...It's very important for fibro.

When mine gets that bad, I use two hands to hold everything or pick up anything.

May your troubles be less, Your blessings be more. And nothing but happiness come through your door!
