I had never read this post before , it having began months before I became a member of this group, but now having read it and the replies that follow, made me think.... I, too, am very happy to have found this group. Before I was officially dx d with Fibro (and Hashimotos'), a medical friend mentioned that I should be checked for both. I put it off for a few months...I think I might have been in denial. Once I was officially dx d (Hashi in Sept. 06 and Fibro in May '08), I have finally come to terms with both and after much suffering, doing much better now. I hope all of what I said made sense... I m a bit more tired tonight than usual...LOL !!! |
"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)
I am also very happy to have all of you to talk to. A lot of my friends and family have been supportive but there comes a point that they just don't "get it"like people who have it. I am also glad some of the things I thought were really bad-I went on medical leave from work and I hope to get PERS disability. I really was kind of forced too, but I should have done it for myself long ago. I struggled on and on not wanting to disapoint anyone at work, came home hurtin and grouchy. My family always got the left overs of the day. My husband told me I needed to take care of myself 1st. So did the boss-boy she changed her tune when I started actually taking her advice. I really loved my job too much, lost focus of my real priorities. It's all still kind of new I am struggling financially but I have some PEACE finally. I also know who really cares... not my moct of my former co-workers and supervisors.
