Why wear a ribbon?

"I wear this ribbon because Alzheimer's in in our family, I have fibromyalgia, I'..." (igimom)

MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
I would truly be lost without MDJunction... to me its my savior, my personal place to go where i don’t feel so alone anymore in the world.

As a spokesperson and a person who helps many others, Oprah must watch this video and help all the suffers who are not believed and live everyday in a world that no one understands. As someone who suffers from this I feel that because not too many people( when you consider how many people there are in the world ) suffer from it, no one really wants to take this on, as an awareness campaign There are many illnesses that only a few thousand or million suffer from that no one knows about or won't campaign to help get money to help for research. Only someone as famous and known as Oprah can help this cause and the other chronic conditions that no one wants to talk about or cares about. If they don't understand these conditions they must not exist, attitude must be stopped. Once every four years we elect a president but every day of every year we suffer this condition which we will have for the rest of our lives along with many other chronic conditions that are out there. It is time that we all become active in the awareness of chronic illnesses and start to help the suffers who feel that no one understands or cares for them from doctors on down to the families who also don't understand all the time. If Oprah can bring awareness to the public about these chronic conditions then and only then can the many suffers become validated and believed.

Jean I just need you to proofread this because having my worst week ever. Thanks.

Dr.Oz is the one I have been thinking of. I suggest that we pick a day next week that we all send a letter to Oprah. We need to ask about Dr.Oz and if he will talk about it. I have never seen anyone who explains things like he does.

I am going to write one letter and mail it out to every TV news, and talk show along with anyone else I can thinking of. I am also going to add links to some of the big information sites about fibro.

Thank you for the link. I have forwarded it to everyone in my addy book. It's a shame that we have to get this bad and still everyone gets convinced it's only in our heads. Someone needs to wake people up. I will definately be wearing all my Fibro Awareness stuff this May. (Not just in May, but especially in May! I got some really cool Fibro Aware stuff here: www.cafepress.com/artisticability in the Awareness/Fibro Section. There is a Sale on for National Fibro Day, plus a coupon code on the page that will save money too.

Let's make people AWARE, we DO exist and FIBRO DOES TOO!


Pamela {please}

I wish tons of love and hugs!

Let me know the day to write to Oprah and also what do you think about getting the word out through Steve Wilkos? I feel that it does not matter who airs it as long as it gets aired. Let me know what all of you think.

I emailed the link to my family and friends also.
