"For my good friend Makayla who has been struggling with lyme disease for 4 years..." (AbbyJean)

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.

I sent an e-mail, too! I'm very excited. We shall we what happens!
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.

Ther had/has been an ongoing blog of people writing toOprah for years- it has over 6000 very angry people, so it is not like she has not een aware, it was that she didn't have a starting point of informaton and facts- there no more of that with the with Under our skin and Cure unknown. Her hands were tied- Now we have a lot to talk about.

This wil be more than a show- and the fact the she admires Pres Elect Barack Obamab we have the info out that we need to get help- they just need to hurry- traveling miles to 1 of a few very literate doc's needs to change fast. Not to mention how much this disease has financially burdened all of us- I'm financing my treatment for 5 years- after the st 2 coukd not helpp me I had to make a big decision and say, give up, or Go directly to the best- I chose the 2nd. and pray too much permanent damage has not been done

being as invisible as this disease is, it wreaks havok on our internal organs. I had no idea my heart was in big jeopardy, but I could feel I was dying - I still feel like that but I just began IV after a year of failed orals and worsening of neuro symptoms.

I have often said by the time I get better there will b a braod spectrum abx and good accurate tests, and in a couple of years that may be just the case, until the next super bug emerges.
