Why wear a ribbon?

"I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA AND I WANT TO SUPPORT OTHERS WHO HAVE IT AS WELL." (runningwolf1)

MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here.

Wow! This discussion is amazing. I have everything mentioned above, except the trembling. Last summer I started wearing panty shields every day because I don't know if I'll make it to the toilet in time or if I'll pee a few more drops when I pull my panties back up. The crook of my elbows and the back of my knees kill me. The bottom of my feet can hurt so much I can't walk more than to the bathroom or kitchen. It's so nice to know I share all this with others. Are we lucky at least to have a spot to share and know we're not crazy or dying?

Oh, and just yesterday the back of my thighs starting hurting so bad I can barely sit, the right thigh worse. I've had the pain in front of the thigs and in the hips and buttocks, but not in the back of the thighs before. Maybe I'm being taken over by an alien.

Hey all,

I have all of those problems my eyes runs so bad the more I hurt the worst they run . My little girl is 9 she aways check my eyes when they gets home from school. If they are running a little she say ok mom feels a little better,but if there running constantly she says mom is really having a bad day guys so lets not bother her. Of course that never happens but its still sweet .I can't braid my girls hair or write for a long time my fingers goes numb and when I'm hurting really bad I can't focus on anything or pay attention.I use to push myself but now its begining to be dangerous. I've found myself running through red lights more not because I wanted to but I just wasn't focusing. So I really try to drive less.

Numb fingers....YES...when I try to pluck my eyebrows!

Not good to work on one for too long...I'd end up crooked for a while!

Hey all, I am always freezing too. In the summer it can be 100 degrees and I'm still wearing long pants, a sweat shirt, sock, and a heating blanket! My fingers and toes are like ice cubes as well. All of the guys I've dated have freaked out when they first held my hand because they were so cold and the last one had hands so big that he could wrap one around both of mine, so he did that to try to warm them up. It was pretty cute! Boy I miss him!

Well, that is my two cents for the moment. Have a happy day!

Well, I think it would be worse to almost pee and poop them. That would be a mess!
