MDJunction to me

mabri"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

Wow Clarita your gratefulness for so many things today. Makes me grateful that their are people like you in this world who despite or perhaps because of the many tests and challenges of chronic illness are so grateful for those many little things that mean so much.

I am thankful for all of what Rayne said, (insert my two "terrible terriers" for #2). Rayne, are you sure we weren't separated from birth? Only, add #6: chocolate! Oh, Yeah! Chocolate AND coffee.
