 "I have just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I want to support everyone else..." (WeeRhi)

MDJunction to me

RickEJ"I was diagnosed 8 years ago with Bi-Polar II.
With no support in my area I searched the web for help, after two years I stumbled on to MDJ.
The bi-polar II group has been my life line since 12/26/2009.
dizzyb my friend, you are not forgotten!

I have a hard time reading anymore, cuz my attention span is so short. However, when I used to read, I found the "Left Behind" series was awesome.

There are I think 8 books, and they are about the end times. It is bible based although it is an actual story. It tells about what will happen after the Rapture and how life will be for the 7 years of Tribulation. The last book is "Glorious Appearing" which is about the return of Jesus to earth. I really suggest this to anyone who loves to read and is interested in the "end times"

Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

I love to read but sometimes my attention spa is too short or the "fog" makes it so I wind up reading a page twice. I LOVE Nora Roberts books and the books that she writes under the name J. D. Robb are my favorite. They are kind of future police/ love books.

I have a Kindle...and LOVE it for reading, and I check on Amazon everyday for free downloads....love sci-fi books....and have read alot of the free ones, have many more to get to....but at least their waiting in my Kindle for me.....and yes, it eliminates the need to find someone or somewhere to put the "books"....

Sci-fi is my favorite too! Well, Sci-fi and Fantasy! CJ Cherryh, MacCaffery, Asimov, oh crap, the FibroFog's hit me and I'm pulling an absolute blank on the most recent ones I've read! Drat! *sighs* no sense trying to remember now, it won't come.

Has anyone seen my memory running around here? I lost it again!

I miss reading but it is too hard to keep a hold of the book, turn pages and I can't concentrate for long. It's too frustrating.

I certainly understand what you mean, the memory is a bit off.

My mother is a huge fan of the Left Behind books. I've never read them myself. And audiobooks are a win! I used to listen to them while I was driving truck. They were especially good for night driving. Gave you something to concentrate on to stay awake.

Reading a great little book now, The Wisdom of the Native Americans. Absolutely wonderful book.
