Why wear a ribbon?

  "I Am Uterine Cancer Survivor." (jamie1560)

MDJunction to me

fluffyluggage"I found MDJunction at a time when I was struggling with so much. I
was so sick. I found a home, a place where people understood me, when
even my family doubted me. In MDJ, I found a place of refuge, love,
and support. I come here daily, to find my balance, to cope, and to
find that same support I've found from day 1. MDJ is my new family.
The friends I've made here will remain with me for a lifetime." (fluffyluggage)

I could not walk straight at WalMart today

As I was walking through WalMart today, pushing the cart, I still could not walk straight. My lack of uprightness was worse than normal because usually, if I'm holding on to the cart, I move straight w/o trouble.

Good news though, I FELT GOOD. I did not feel sick just did not feel able to stay upright while walking.

God is good and I am glad

Today's another very off balance day... with a bit of not feeling well. See note on "normal ENG" thread.

Mine too! I had to take some meclizine and Vertigoheel to stop the dizziness and off balance too. Let's hope that better days are ahead! At the end of the Rainbow there's a buckets of good health for everyone!

I have found that being under fluorescent lights for long periods of time such as shopping tend to throw my balance off. therefore, I wear tinted glasses while shopping and it seems to help.
