Why wear a ribbon?

"I wear this ribbon because I have Fibromyalgia, chronic pain and I am a domestic..." (merlin96)

MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)

 Ok another wierd symptom of mine- just wondering if anyone else has it.

When I stand for a while- like 10 minutes if I have shorts on my legs get really red. If I touch my skin it leaves a white mark as if I had sunburn. I do have lots of numbness and tingling so maybe it has something to do with circulation- I don't know.

It used to freak me out and I'd fixate on it but usually now I just ignore it.

Anyone else notice color changes in your skin? thanks

 Meleges,

Could it be: raynaud's

I think I was told that I have this a long time ago.

I'll attach a site.

 The only place I get red and blotchy is my neck. People are always asking if I have a sunburn and even though I live in florida I very rarely get out in the sun due tio my work schedule

 Me too

everyone always thinks I was away on a trip, I hate the look on my neck.

I have Roscesea (sp) some on my face & the V on my neck

& I guess it's my Irish

I can walk out in the sun for like 30 seconds & I'm all red like a rash. I do tan though (strange)
