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)

Hi my fibro friends,

I was wondering if anyone from Canada with Fibro was/is able to receive some government assistance in lieu of being able to work? I have not been able to work since January 07 and there is no telling if I will ever be able to again. As I am sure with most of you out there, because of this Fibro, money is tight. We only have one income (my wonderful husband) and it certainly is difficult at times. I don't even know where to start to look for some kind of funding. I did collect U.I. for 18 weeks when I left my full time job, but it would be a huge help if I could qualify for something else because of this disability.

Hopefully someone out there can lead me in the right direction!

Thanks so very much in advance!!

Soft hugs to everyone!
