MDJunction to me

"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

Is this what I do to get people to read my post and talk with everyone? I'm very new to this site and I just want to know how to get to know everyone and talk with everyone about my life and everyone elses. I've read many posts and I've replyed to some but not many have replyed back to what I've said. I'm really thankful for this site b/c my good friends have been telling me to go to support groups but I don't like to get out of the house much so my fiance is all about helping me with my Fibro so he looked this site up and got me started, he thinks it's really good for me, as does my best friend Jess. Well I hope to hear from everyone I"m supper excited to get started on this site!!!

This is exactly how you do it! lol Anytime you want to add something to a thread or ask a question, you just jump right on in and do it. lol

I do not have fibro, but it is just about the only thing I don't have. lol

Welcome to the site. I am 58 years old and it is my TMJ (joint where the upper and lower jaws meet) pain and my neuropathy pain that I come to this site for. Both of my (things ) cause me pain like I have never felt at times, and like fibro, there is no cure and really no meds that help a lot. Have you been given some meds for your pain? If so, do they work?? I have been given Oxycodone and Tylenol #3 for mine. Both work by knocking my butt out so I really don't care !!! lol Took Lyrica for 2 years until the edema (water build up in body---swelling) from it sent me to the ER cause I couldn't breathe. Pulmonary edma( water around & in my lungs) almost killed me. So, if you have been given that drug...please be careful. Watch your weight really closely and watch for you feet and hands swelling too. I consider it a very dangerous drug. OK do I have you scared shitless yet!!!!?????? lolol Sorry if I do, it's a great drug for some.

Again, welcome and will talk to you again & watch for questions you may have and see if I can answer. If I can't, there will be 100 who can,

Love.

Gloria

"We Know We Are Out Of Step When"

We cannot walk a straight line.
We've stepped on our brother's foot.
We forget to be thankful.
We feel alone.
We think our dance is the only dance there is.

Angelica, welcome to the group. Another way you can get to know people is to send them a PM or invite them to be your friend. Sometimes sending personal notes back and forth will help you get to know people a little better. For me, I find that it's hard to keep up with the posts. It also depends on how my right wrist is feeling ~ sometimes I just read the posts, sometimes I jump in and respond. Hang in there, we are here for you. If there is a question or something you need to vent about, start a new post...we'll jump in and help you.

Dear Angela,

Welcome to our "little" group! You can also send a person a hug, prayer, salute, etc. There's a "Give a Hug" link on everybody's posts. You can also do it from the other person's profile page, but for whatever reason, you can not send them from your own profile page. I hope this helps.

Beloved Father God,
Help me befriend those who are lonely,
Help me comfort those who are hurting,
Help me do battle against the darkness,
And help me lead the way to You.
In Jesus' name, amen.
