Why wear a ribbon?

"I wear this because I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain and I want to show that..." (ssswanson)

MDJunction to me

"When I found MD Junction, I was in the beginning stages of RSD/CRPS. I was scared, lacked knowledge about the condition, and felt very alone.

MD Junction changed all of that for me. I found friendship and terrific information from people who had first-hand knowledge of this syndrome. It was and still is a big part of my life.

MDJ was my first step on the journey of grief; from denial to acceptance. I am now inspired to help others by sharing this amazing site and sharing my own experiences. I am very impressed that one forum site can provide hope and inspiration to people suffering from so many different conditions. I am proud to be a part of this community.

I haven't had that side effect from either of those. I think prednisone can cause hives and such as a severe side effect. Please call your rheumy and tell them about this.

Keep us posted.

Like Laura, I have not had this experience, and echoing her advice, "Call your doc!"

Please do not interpret ANYTHING I post as medical advice. I have many airtight opinion, but those opinions should not be conjectured as absolutes.
