Why wear a ribbon?

 
"I have fibromyalgia." (Stelagtite)

MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis.

When I'm really tired or have done a lot during the day my limbs feel like dead weight. I guess better that than more pain. Smile

Alot of times, my arms feel heavy and hurt very bad to move. It reminds me of a person that has had a stroke because I can't really use them when it is like that.

Karen, welcome, I am pretty sure what you are feeling is fibro too. I have lots of problems with my legs and that is one of the reasons I had to quit work. They get very heavy and even feel like ants are biting them sometimes. It is nerve problems.
