MDJunction to me

1magicman"Before i found MDJ i was in the deepest darkest part of my life after my abduction. I wanted to feel safe. I wanted that sense of being a normal person.Finding MDJ and the people with in it has steered me down the correct path into the light of hope. The feeling of hope that i was not alone,the feeling of hope of understanding,and the feeling of hope to move on. I never give up hope." (1magicman)

Hello! My name is Mark and I am a Firbo-holic. Nah, that's not a good way to start a conversation Smile It is hard to tell others, though, that you have this debilitating sickness when you look perfectly normal to everyone.

I've had to leave work as of August 9th of this year and haven't had much success in obtaining any kind of disability. I speak with Allsup tomorrow for advice and help in getting the disability pushed through.

My wife found this website while looking for additional support for me and I've learned what this Firbo-Fog is. I was relieved because I was under the impression that something else was wrong with me when, in effect, it was just another symptom. The part that has me worried is the mentally aging part of the equation. I don't want to lose any more mental capacity! Sad

I've posted on the general forums and you all seem to be a supportive group! Hope to chat with all of you soon!

I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey
