Why wear a ribbon?

  "I have suspected Lymes Disease, that has caused a neurological disorder called D..." (RRM115)

MDJunction to me

jaguar62"Here's a success story for you ,, there was this poor guy who all he ever did was work his butt off day in and day out, and would settle for no less than perfection which caused him to somewhat be an outcast among his peers.

But then people around him started to notice that failure wasn't an option and this guy could really get things moving in the direction they were supposed to go so when they had an issue they would hesitantly ask for assistance at first.

But as time went on more and more people started getting referred to him. Before you knew it he was recognized and he had a top executive job,Escalation Supervisor of the whole Eastern Coast of United States for a communications company was staying busy like he loved to do and helping people along the way and life was excellent, good salary and benefits ,loved going to work "everyday".

Then one day (it was a period of time ) it was over ...seemed like it disappeared in an instance (after being diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease at the age of 49) and it stayed that way forever it seemed and life was slowly deteriorating around him ..depressed , no motivation, no job, health issues getting progressively worse much faster than just Parkinson and then being told it has possibilities of being MSA (Multiple Systems Atrophy) well seeing as i wasn't working i started checking out sites online and just so happened on MDJunction and the Parkinsons Support Group and absolutely loved the forums and feed back from the GLs and found out it wasn't just poor me at all, it was lots of wonderful people who shared the same symptoms that i was and still am going thru every day but in a whole lot better more positive frame of mind . So after about a year of posting and reading the forums daily and meeting so many good people I knew i wanted to give back some of this well needed love that i had received , So I applied for a Group Leader Position and ...

I had a "new job" and its helping people as well as getting the necessary help I now require and I can do it 24 hrs a day if i want to ..HOW GOOD IS THAT .

THATS MY SUCCESS STORY/Testomonial
OH Yeah!I almost forgot the best part is the wonderful fellowship around the workplace,,

MDjunction has opened my eyes and offered me a new beginning to what was looking like a very dark end. thanks MDJ (and yes i do know where I would be without you.)" (jaguar62)

Need a doc to rx bicillin in mexico or near NC

I did great on bicillin, almost kicked the lyme then had to quit it too soon (long story). Previous source is no longer available.

If I go to a doc on the east coast (within 800 miles or so of NC) they need to have experience getting BCBS to pay for bicillin or IVs. If I pay out of pocket I can only afford to get it from Mexico.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have a local llmd already, but they will only deal with pills. That's why I don't want to go to someone unless I know they will write scripts for the shots or IVs, because if they just do pills it'd be a waste of my money to see them. Honestly, I think Mexico would be my best bet but I'd prefer a normal Mexican doctor that has Lyme experience to one that works in some overpriced border clinic that I might not be able to afford.
