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.

bearsjewel, I'm sorry that you and your family have been through such a hard time. Please don't say that you don't care if you live or die. You have to care, I'm sure your husband and daughter care. I know that this must seem like the darkest hour to you but remember there is light behind the darkness, it's just that you can't see it right now. You will see the light again.

Oh Bearsjewel....I want to send you a check to cash for gas money!!!!! And please don't say no. PM me with your address and the check for $10 will be in the mail. You HAVE TO see a doctor. Not all doctors are bad..you just have to weed through the buttheads!!!!! I've had my share, that is for sure.

maineact.....Bad Doc's?whoooyeah.Slick shinny shoed babe's who've never had a hang nail.

I got shuffled off to a March Heir who verbaly abused me in every way...trying to get

me to scream @ him or when that didn't work ran at me & just took a left in time so as not to run into my face.Just kept my eyes on his.He never looked @ my X-rays or listen to a word I said.

When the freak didn't work he said "I'm putting you on Norotten" I said is that a extract of Johnny

Rotten from the sex pistols?" Sir I will be leavin now.If a Doc. puts you on Rotten he can say anything

one is he thinks your a skizofreinick.Yeah & your left to say no no no, but damage done. trapped.

What is Rotten? I want to make sure I never end up on that.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I don't want things to be harder for me than they already are.

Would anyone else like to help Bearsjewel with a check to her so she can afford the gas to get her to her doctors appt and the SSI hearing? I myself will send $10. And NO, I do not make this a regular habit, nor should anyone else expect this, but this is a 1 time thing.... What does everyone think? I DO trust people on this forum!!!! Hugs to all, D

Again, I post here to ask people to at least send Bearsjewel a small check to help with the gas and get her to see a doctor in Wi. Wow..hubby, daughter and herself have cronic pain? No offense Bearsjewel, but it must be something to live all together in one house and all be in pain at the same time!!! I definitely know the hardships of coming up with $$ for things I need. Ha, my one pain script costs me over $100. We spend over $1000 monthly on co-pays for all the meds both me and my hubby take! I worry about when we are at retirement age and only on Medicare and not much $$ in the 401K!! ...they don't pay for very much, even when you have "Part D". And thats after the insurance has paid their part...and we have good insurance. Please, can't we help Bearsjewel out? Either way, I am going to send her $10...that at least covers 2 gallons of gas!!! We're family here....

zakaroo, i am blessed just to know that someone wants to help us. ad yes my daughter is fighting to get her disability so the only income we have is my husbands and my disability. yeah it can get quite um *itchy around here when we are all at peak pain but we have all been able to work any problems out with each other. they tell my daughter they want to do surgery on her back and that she will be paralized without it and a very good chance she will be paralyzed with the surgery. she has a 2 year old son to worry about. between house payments regular bills and go pays we litterally have to decide how much to pay on each bill. at least my daughter gets food stamps and my mother taught me to be a very good cook and i can make things stretch. thank you so much i wil let u all know how things go. love to zakaroo and my friends here, bearsjewel

God I hear you, why do these doc's think they are God? And if the pharmasist says narcotics are ok if used properly for chronic pain, then why won't the doc's listen? That's why they make these meds, for us....I can really see how people do end it all, doc's are suppose to help, not hurt right? Still, no help w/ a doc? Please if anyone can help....I'm dying here.
