Why wear a ribbon?

  "I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 10 years ago." (txfurbabymom)

MDJunction to me

mabri"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

You can participate any way the heart guides you- that's what I do... If you feel inspired to post a topic post it- you can tell this is a very supportive group- we are here when you and if you need us!
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Kahlil Gibran

"Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with."

Whatever makes you comfortable. If you want to just read, post, start posts, pm, chat, or whatever, it is fine. I'm sure we have a lot of people who never post, but just read the threads, and that is ok. Whatever works for you. We do love to hear from everyone, but it is not required. Hope you do feel comfortable here in one way or another.

Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
