Why wear a ribbon?

"To help others out there like me" (hochsner19)

MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
I would truly be lost without MDJunction... to me its my savior, my personal place to go where i don’t feel so alone anymore in the world.

She wants me to take 10 mg of prednisone. I thought prednisone was not good for lyme. Should I take it?

NONONONONO, do NOT take it. steroids are horrible for a healthy person, let alone someone with lyme disease. Read my story, it will explain the bomb that went off in my body after steroids. It doesn't happen to EVERYONE, but to a lot, I would never take that chance again
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

I agree with Jaime. Prednisone came close to killing me. It suppresses your immune system. Which is good if you have an autoimmune disease.

Lyme is just a tough stubborn bacteria that thrives in a weakened immune environment.

Stay away from all Catabolic Steroids!!!!!!!!!!
