MDJunction to me

jackie1979"MDJ is like a family to me where I can talk to others who understand how I feel. I can as group leader help others and support them and be there
for each other for the good and bad times. MDJ has helped me come to terms with my disability and be able to live my life and be positive. I just hope that I can be there for others like my friends on MDJ have been here for me.

Lavender is wonderful!

I keep one in my bathroom, buy lavender bubblebath and essential oil. Then I spray my wrist with lavender/chamomile body spray, about $5 for the bottle in walmart. I even spray it on my pillow before I go to bed, and I drift off calmly and sleep deeply. Wake up fully rested. Smile

It is soley for information purposes only, please continue to take your Doctors advice. I share what I have learned, read, experienced and know what has helped me, I share this information in hopes it will be of help or comfort to someone else. Good luck, Relax, and lets continue to support one another, and conquer panic the best way we can! :)

I take a nice hot shower or bath and then read and watch tv. Running around the room?? LOL that is one I have not heard yet. Good one Frog. lol

Love the lavender as well. I am going to try something. This summer when my mom brings me some lavender from her garden I am going to put it in a bag where it can smell through and put in under my pillow case. Smile

I am not a doctor although wish I was. LOL All of my comments are strictly my opinion only from my own experiences. I am on no medications at the time but have taken medication in the past. So anything I say about medication is only my opinion from the experiences I have had while on medication. Never stop taking or take medication without talking to your doctor first.

I know the running around the room is hilarious but I was desperate to get all that extra adrenaline out and it happened to work. If someone was watching, they probably would have died laughing on the floor!! Lavender sounds good, but what does someone do that has allergies to all those flowery things? I can't even drink chamomile tea anymore or I'll end up all stuffed up.

I think watching someone run around the room would make laugh hard enough and long enough to sleep easily!
May I be guided to accept others who may differ from me and always separate opinion from fact. I insist that others put the benefit of the group before anything else, regardless of a well meaning agenda. If what you say is a fact, you can back it up. If not, it's opinion and should be called that. The safety of members is paramount.

Running around would exhaust me and then i would probably lay down and fall asleep. Running behind my kids tires me out so running around my room would probably put me to sleep to Smile
