MDJunction to me

"I have been struggling with Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, Anxiety, Post traumatic Syndrome for quite some time and pretty much going it alone. I stumbled across MDJunction by accident. I stayed in the shadows and just watched for four days and then I joined, feeling relieved and excited to have found a safe place with alot of folks that I could relate to . It's proove to be medically and emotionally
helpful to me and now I can't go a day without coming in at least 4 or five times a day! I Love my family here.

It's me again,...just wanted to thank everyone for keeping things running pretty smoothly here at MDJ and giving others a hand with info. I've been having a hard time recovering, and now throwing in some female problems, just had a horrible experience today , was supposed to have a mamogram (3rd one and I'm only 30, nice huh), having some issues, my doc is concerned about, well, drove an hour there, waited an hour, they never got the docs order, fax was down, hour drive home, this stuff always happens with this hospital system, they drive me nuts...had some lyme rage in the parking lot, I stood there and yelled at the top of my lungs "I f en hate (name of hosptial)"! haha, funny but not.

anyhow, been super busy behind the scenes finding docs for people, we've gotten a LOT of newbies, I'm excited to say.

So just wanted to say Hi and I think of you all, and if you need me, you can always pm me anytime

love,

jaime

Jaime,

So sorry to hear you're dealing with so much crap!

As one of the newbies though, I want to say another big "thank you" for all of the hard work you volunteer to do in helping others... especially while you yourself are dealing with so much in your own recovery process.

You are a priceless resource, as are others here, too,... I am positive that words cannot express how much appreciation & gratitude so many of us feel for you and all of your efforts, support & encouragement.

I will be praying for you, and hoping that all of these other things going on with you will be resolved quickly... and remember why I have my username,.. keep listening to Joyce, she's such an amazing inspiration!

You're always here for others, and I just want you to remember, we are here for you, too.

(((HUGE HUGS)))

Frustrated, Irritated, Nonfunctional & Everything hurts!!

I feel your pain Jaime and those mammograms aren't fun. And I certainly feel your frustration at the hospital. I'm feeling that way now dealing with *&*#$&(*#&$(*#@&$(*#@& insurer of a man that plowed into my car last week.

I swear, if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!
