Why wear a ribbon?

"I werar the purple ribbon to show my support for all we fibros endure together--..." (iteach)

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)

on the 25th of this mo. appt with new rheum arthritic physician. for approx 5yrs now I saw my rheum arthritic physician and he would do lab work on me. I have a pos ANA. yet I have a first cousin with Lupus full blown. at first all kinds of symptoms were happening to me and I would let the physician know all this but now recently while in a new physician's office he blurted I see you have Lupus. I stated to him that my other physician had never officially diagnosed it as Lupus. I will find out once and first all if indeed I have it or not. Of course they continue to seek blood samples every six mo's or so. Someone out there please let me know if you all went thru this as well. The pain I tolerate and I take no medication at this time, it's the fatigue that gets me. Love to hear from someone out there. Thanks
