MDJunction to me

jayna01"My name is Jayna and I wanted to take this opportunity to say how much MDJunction has meant to me. I always felt so alone before I joined in April of 2012. I felt like there wasn't anyone that really cared about me and what I was going through. I felt like there was no one that would truly listen to me in what I was feeling. Nobody was there for me. That is before I found MDJ!

I have found and met such good people on these forums. I never ever knew there were such compassionate people before MDJ. It's also nice to know that I can come here anytime and get support for what I am feeling. I feel like I have met some wonderful life long friends. It is also an outlet for me to try and help other people that are hurting. It gives me a good feeling inside and gives me self confidence in helping other people.

I hope MDJ will be as good for you as it has been for me! Many Blessings and Much love.

Does anyone else suffer from being sick every morning? No, not MORNING SICKNESS...you have to be able to have sex for that!! HA! Not enough energy!

I'm talking about being stuffy, dry cough, sneezing, and lots of phlegm. It seems to go away by mid-day. So, I get to go half days without being sick.

I also seem to catch every sickness that comes around. Probably every other week I come down with a new ailment - cold/flu....I'm sure I am not the only one! Smile

I am not a doctor or nutritional expert. I am a Wife, Mother of 3 and a Lyme Victim for about a decade....I am determined to conquer this!

I too have a sore throat and runny nose every morning.
With Him we "live" no matter the circumstances. At His feet peace of mind can be found. Peace that passes all understanding is my quest now and forever.

Numbers 6:24-26
"The LORD bless you and keep you;the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

I'm an Advocate

Yup--all 3 posts sound just like me. I'm pretty sure it's related to Lyme, as I've had it for a good 15 years--about as long as I'm sure I've had Lyme. I wish I could help with suggestions, other than that I take Alavert in the morning to help. I also have been diagnosed with severe asthma, and strong asthma meds for the most part help, but I think it's really Babs that's to blame for that one. Oh, the fun of Lyme & Co! Laughing Not...

Hugs,

Just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen.

I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help. I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days.

Something has changed within me/Something is not the same/I'm through with playing by/The rules of someone else's game/Too late for second-guessing/Too late to go back to sleep/It's time to trust my instincts/Close my eyes and leap...I'm through accepting limits/Cuz someone says they're so/Some things I can not change/But till I try I'll never know/Too long I've been afraid of/Losing love I guess I lost/Well if that's love/It comes at much too high a cost/I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity/Kiss me good-bye I'm Defying Gravity/I think I'll try Defying Gravity/And you won't bring me down...
