MDJunction to me

scotty04901"MDJ to me is an added phase in my recovery as a 44 year survivor of a TBI. I hope that with what I have lived through in those years, will be able to help all those who are just now going through. It is important to understand that even after 44 yrs, I am continuing to recover and to evolve. I just hope I can help others." (scotty04901)

Where's the thumbs up button? Good job..we ought to keep this list going and add to it...like,

You might have fibro if you used to check the time for getting the kids to school and practice but now it's to check when to take your next med.

Or

You might have fibro. if you have a weekly pill box and yet still forget to take them.

You might have fibro. if you go to the bathroom and forget if you wiped yourself or not before you get up.

You might have fibro. if you write on the calendar when to change your pain patch and you still forget. (It's right on my bedroom wall so I see it first thing in the morning).

Love,

See what you started, Laura! Great fun!

You might have fibro if...about 75% of your google searches has the word fibromyalgia, pain or Savella (Lyrica, cymalta, effort, etc) in the search terms.

You might have fibromyalgia if...you no longer worry about Alzheimers and blame all your goofiness and forgotten meetings or tasks on fibro fog.

You might have fibromyalgia if...you work and know all about your rights under the ADA.

You might have fibro if you and your doctor are on a first name basis!

You might have fibro if you have a special calendar just for drs visits and medication refills then have another one for the rest of your family.

I am not a doctor. In no way does my advice compare to medical advice. I am just here to extend a listening ear and share some of my experiences with everyone in hopes that I can do some good!

Thanks all. These are priceless. Here's another one:

You might have fibro if you're zapping your coffee in the microwave and find the other cup of coffee you warmed up earlier.
