Why wear a ribbon?

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

MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunnyfly)

I definitely like the hipmama test. I worked for years on the night shift at nursing homes and believe me the peoples emotions are all over the place during a full moon. I hurt more and have a shorter temper when the moon is full. I wouldn't mind if we could vote not to have any more of them, but unfortuately it doesn't work that way, bummer.
May the sun bring you new energies by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night ,
May the rain wash away any worries you may have,
And the breeze blow new strength into your being,
And then,all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world,and know it’s beauty and yours.

I tell you all first thanks for letting us know how bad it got for you. This is what I wanted to know. I am going to continue it for one more full moon before I send it to the fibro research center. I sure hope they can use this to find something new for us.

Thanks again.

HEY ladycrowe I've missed badgering you lately. I've not been my best. But talking about this moon business - I could hardly get out of bed this morning.

I found this neat litle site I found a while back and I keep it on my main page. So after barely crawling out of bed this morning I thought about the moon. But I didn't think of it again until this discussion came up. So I went to that site and in my time zone it said,

Saturday, April 19, 2:41 pm 100 % full moon phase. So that just proves it even more to me. I already was aware of it. My husband was a Houston Firefighter years ago and they hated full moon nights. They said all the "crazies" came out. And this was so much expected that if it was their rouind of graveyard shifts they could go to bed but had to sleep fully dressed. Could only take their shoes off. But usually they didin't even make it to their cots on full moon nights.

Oh, and ladycrowe, go back to that last runover. There must still be a finger left. I can't hardly type today kathy

((((HUGS))) Kathy

I truely believe in the full moon thing. I am hurting so bad today it is hard to walk. It seems that all of the places I have hurt when I have fallem come alive again and hurt all over. I don't know what happened today but my daughter and I snuck to dairy queen and as the lady handed Laura the hotdogs her cell phone whent off with one of those songs she listens to and for just a split second, I thought the hotdog was speaking to us. Of course, I then realized it was the phone, but it was really weird.

I guess we will continue hurting until this is over. It is very true though. When I was a nurse, it was crazy on the floors. It was like the patients were posessed.

Bookie, I have looked high and low for your finger and I can not find it anywhere!?!?!?! I can loan you one of mine if you would like! LOL!

ALC.. and your spouse are right! From an ER nurse perspective... the crazies do come out during a full moon as well as the chronic pain patients. We saw more people with migraine flares and such during the full moon.....

Anyone care to join me in a good HOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLL?
