MDJunction to me

Fmsdaddy"Md Junction to me is my safe place. A place where I can feel safe to just open up talk about everything without burdening my wife. With all my health issues its nice to know that I am not alone, suffering form fibromyalgia,depression, and costochondritis with anxiety is a nightmare. Having the great people here at MDjunction is so great its hard to put into words. I dont think I would be getting through what I am going through without this great resource. I think everyone should know about mdjunction!" (Fmsdaddy)

As i have mentioned i have made it my mission to educate people at every opportunity (even when people comment on my IV i go into my speel)

My life has been so impacted by lyme and tbd's-my daughter had lyme and bartonella, i have lyme and possibly bartonella and my father has been very ill with lyme and babesiosis.

I posted information on facebook and me and my sister are going to put information about symptoms onto our profile page...nothing is going to change unless we all change it along with our wonderful docs...

so if you are on facebook or any other social site do what you can to educate others. I wish i had known what was happening to me when i ended up in the hospital 13 years ago with a severely swollen face and neck!! my llmd thinks that is when it all started. so do what you can

That is great!!! Educate as many people as you can.. I wish I knew about Lyme and company...it would have saved me and my babies..

I am friends with about 120 Lymies on facebook and learn quite a bit on there.

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."

Hi,

That is wonderful!! I just recently joined FB and have a bunch of Lyme causes I am trying to promote. It's all in the works right now. I have Chronic Lyme and Babesiosis (9 years now - almost 2 years on treatment). I just don't think people realize how horrible it really is. Being a former teacher, I really believe in the importance of education and awareness. Like I said, I am new to FB -

My page(s) are: facebook.com/kmephotos1 (personal) (you can just search "KME Photos" for my business page)- Since I can't work due to this horrible illness, I started a business making cards out of my photos. It's something I can do from home on my decent days (with help from family & friends). I'm trying to use FB to promote it. I also have a website: (post edited cmany: no posting of personal business info)

Since I'm beyond broke, I'm really trying to get the word out. If/when I'm better, I plan to donate some of the proceeds to Lyme research and education.

Well, enough about me - hope you are doing ok, and I'm so happy you are using fb to educate the public!!

That's great - I'm on fb too - facebook.com/kmephotos1 (personal) & facebook.com/kmephotos - since I can't work and am beyond broke due to this horrible disease, I started a business making cards out of my photos - not too much success yet, but I put it out on FB - if/when I'm better, I'm going to donate some of the proceeds to Lyme research and education - it's so important because people don't realize how horrible Lyme really is...

"I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road...
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now" Eminem Not Afraid
