Why wear a ribbon?

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

MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here." (carmen33)

 hello, I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. My name is Annie. Im new to the group and new to this site so please, If I make a mistake, point it out to me lol. Anyhow, I was diagnosed with fibro back in October of 2007, however I've had fibro for many years, so the doctors have come to realize by singling out many other things. I wont bore you all with my whole life story... yet anyway lol, I have to leave something for the imagination,right? Anyhow, I would love to make new friends and be of support to anyone I can, because I know how hard it can be for so many of us.

Gentle Hugs,

Annie

 Welcome Annie! You will find a lot of kind and wonderfully supportive people on this site. I have learned a lot from my fellow "fibromites"

about how to treat this dreadful illness that none of us asked for, as well as made new friends who have provided encouragement, support and comfort.

It is such a relief to know that you are not alone any more! I love your Eeyore mascot...he's my favorite Winnie the Pooh character.

 Hi JustAnnie,

Welcome to the best support group you will ever find!

When you are having a bad day, one of us who is having an okay day, will be here to lift you up. If one of us is having a bad day, it might be you that makes all the difference.

We laugh here and we cry here. Sometimes member don’t sign on for weeks but when they come back, it is as if they never left.

I hope you find what you need here. We all are living our lives with FM so never be afraid to ask ANY question you may have.

HUGS!

Amy

We made up FM car magnet ribbons as a group. They are really nice. I have some extra at cost. They are $1.50 if you want one, just PM me. Thanks!

LIFE IS A ROUND-A-BOUT WITH NO STREET SIGNS

***I HAVE FM CAR MAGNETS AT COST PM IF YOU WANT ONE!***
