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)

What is HP and HC? But yes I was actually pregnant with twins but I lost the first one at 5 weeks because it was stuck in my tube. Had to have emergency surgery, and in the mean time I was still pregnant in my uterus. Which the doctor said was impossible. But they did an ultrasound before they left me go home and sure enough there was my little boy still growing in my uterus. But anyways, nothing normal happens here...lol I carried him till I was 6 months and they didn't realize that something was wrong until about my 4th month. He wasn't growing much. Well they noticed there wasn't enough blood flow through the umbilical cord. So they were trying everything from steroids to having me on oxygen to see if that helped. Also to figure out if they would have to take him early. Well I went in for the check up and to be find out if they would take him early of what they would do. Well they did an internal ultra sound and noticed the baby had already died, it must have happened that morning or the night before cause I could still feel him moving around. They sent me home for the weekend to prepare to deliver on monday. I was hooked up and given the meds and delivered my son. I was atleast able to hold him and say good bye to him. It was really nice what the hospital did for me though, they took pics of him and made up a little memory box for him and to put his memorabitilias in. well anyways not that you all have tears in your eyes...But yes I have fibro as well. I also have HBP HC, thyroid disease, gerd, oseteoarthritis, arthritis in my back, bursitis, depression(wonder why) anxiety, IBS, IGA deficiency, and bulging discs in my back, bone spurs in my back and siatica. Well I am going to go to bed now and pray for you all to not have too much pain tomorrow. God bless you all and take care. Besides my fingers are all swollen from being on here too much..lol Love and blessings to you all..Good night.
