Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

"I have been struggling with Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, Anxiety, Post traumatic Syndrome for quite some time and pretty much going it alone. I stumbled across MDJunction by accident. I stayed in the shadows and just watched for four days and then I joined, feeling relieved and excited to have found a safe place with alot of folks that I could relate to . It's proove to be medically and emotionally
helpful to me and now I can't go a day without coming in at least 4 or five times a day! I Love my family here.

What is a hot spot? I am newly diagnosed. Is that when you cannot even touch the spot because of the pain?

I know I get a little swelling near the area but the area itself does not swell, i just cannot touch it- then it magically disappears. It feels like there is a pinched nerve that all of a sudden unpinches and the pain is gone
