MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
I would truly be lost without MDJunction... to me its my savior, my personal place to go where i don’t feel so alone anymore in the world." (Storm6751)

 Hi everyone, Im Carrie and Im 27. Im so glad I found this site, it'll be so nice to have people to talk to who understand what Im going through. I do have a wonderful family, and great group of friends, and even though they care, Im not sure they really understand what Im going through sometimes. Sometimes I can barely sit up and its horrible.

I just recently got diagnosed after months of trying to figure out what was going on with me. I saw at least 20 doctors and no one even mentioned this until I did my own research and asked about it. Anyway, if anyone has any advice or suggestions for this newcomer, it would be really appreciated!

 Hi Carrie,

Welcome to the group

Sounds like you have a good support system & that's important. You'll also like us because we understand so many things your family & friends always can't understand or cope with.

 Hi Carrie,

Welcome the the family. I don't think people truly understand what we go through unless they experience it for themselves. It is very important to surround yourself with support. If you ever need to vent, we are here for you. What medications were prescribed? I hope you get some relief!

 Hi Carrie - welcome to the group! Glad to have you as part of us - You are very fortunate to have a caring group that has accepted this with you - it's hard for you and for them to see you go thru this - possibly - you could print some of the posts to share - One wonderful post somewhere on this site is a "letter to normals" helping them understand. It's amazing how well written it is. Good luck and welcome!

 Welcome! I'm new to the group, also, and so far it has been so wonderful.

I, like many of the people on this site, have had FM for quite awhile now (over 10 years), so if you ever have any questions, feel free to PM me!

 Welcome to the group. This group of people has been my saving grace. It took me doing research on my own to get a diagnosis. I can't wait to get to know you better. If you need anything I'm just a PM away.

 welcome carrie to our family of fibromites. You have found a truly wonderful caring gruop of people. Feel free to laugh,cry,vent or ask questions. I agree no one whodoesn't ahve FMS can really understand. My big wonderful family at home tries real hard and I love them for it. Please feel free to PM me anytime.
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.

 welcome carrie, I love this place. Everyone is so caring and friendly. I've learned so much from everyone here and get encouragement everyday. I really needed to talk with others who understand and I have found that here.

 I'm new too, but have had FMS for 7 yrs. I hope all of the sharing will help you greatly. Being diagnosed is such a relief for most (that they're not going crazy or a hypochondriac). At least you know now what you're dealing with. Welcome to the roller-coaster ride that is Fibro. Everyone on this site really supports each other. I've only been on here a short time and have witnessed amazing, caring acts. One member was depressed enough to be seriously considering suicide. Besides keeping in constant contact with her through the site, several people offered home phone #'s and even offered to fly to her if necessary. Truly amazing!!!! Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
