Why wear a ribbon?

 
"I wear this ribbon to support my son who also has ADHD!" (TeamJakob8)

MDJunction to me

Macv"For me, MDjunction has been a place where I can share my experiences
living with the very rare bone disease called Ollier's ( Enchondromatosis ) with the parents of children recently diagnosed. I can help them not to run
into the pitfalls my parents did when I was young, give them a bit of a view
from their child's perspective and simply be there to offer support and
hope to people who are scared and just had their lives upended. I also belong to a chronic pain group and it's been a Godsend to be able to actually
talk with others who understand what I'm dealing with. Besides them helping me through my tough times, I can be there to help them as well. Here too, I can use my years of experience to help others avoid pitfalls and it makes me feel good, gives my life more purpose. MDjunction brings people
together when their suffering, at their darkest and feeling alone in this world and allows some light to be brought back into their lives. HOPE, that's what
MDjunction means to me!

Hi all... I know I've been a bother lately Laughing

Today I'm not feeling quite well, it's really cold here, 5c, and my back is killing me, the same kind of pain that left me out of air the other day, I'm short of breath actually, specially when I walk... the pain has spread to my ribs and it hurts quite deeply on the soft spot were the rib cage ends, up my stomach... I tend to have pain there but it's really bad now... my stomach is upside down, I'm afraid to eat, if I don't eat I can't take my meds, but I'm quite sure now they are not working anyway Laughing, I've been on them for a week and the pain has gone back as it was before I took anything...

My hands hurt, my knees hurt, and when I walk I feel like a sharp neeting needle is crossing through my ankle, from bottom up...

I asked my hsuband to call the rehumy I went to see last week, since he said we should call if the pain didn't stop... I been trying to give the medication time to act, but I'm not sure if it should take all this long...

I don't have enough voice for the shortness of breath, I think Martin is having problems communicating, and that I activated his panic syndrome with the request for him to call the doc, I am at work and I told him all my symptoms through msn, they must have sounded quite frightening Laughing

Any advice..? Tongue

Very funny Scotty, now beam down my clothes!

The only thing you can do is contact your dr and probably go see him. If this is the dr that didn't even do the tender point test and told you that you don't have Fibro I myself think you need to call someone else not that dr. He probably will check your legs when you complain of shortness of breath!!! I can tell you right now he does not believe in Fibro and chances are isn't sure what it is and doesn't care to know. Run!!! Get treated by a normal dr, even a primary care can treat shortess of breath it doesn't have to be a Rheumy. Good luck! Feel better. Hugs, Stacey Wink

What meds are you taking, if I may ask? I had really big problems with fatigue and pain. My pain could be like a little burning sensation and could be so debilitating due to severe muscle spasms, mainly my back, but could travel to ANYWHERE in my body. Shortness of breath is defnitely a symptom of fibromyalgia. I agree, if your doc doesn't believe in fibro, you not gonna get the right treatment. I spend so much money on doctors, specialists, x-rays, medication. I finally found something that works for me, because I found a GP who believes in me.

about the symptoms, the pain is really bad right now, it's not letting me think, nd my back is stiff, I can't sit straight, right now I'm breathing a little better, except when I walk, so I guess I'll be alright for a while... lets see if this painkiller does its thing....
