MDJunction to me

mabri"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

I have a busy, out of the house day today. That always brings stress for me. Riding the bus, being out around strangers, so much noise.

I'm ready to head out the door. Dressed, meds taken, panic kit packed. Still, I don't want to go today. I have a pdoc appt at noon. I never miss those and can't vcancel at the last minute, they require 2 days in advance. After, I have to go across the street from his office to have lab work done. Neither is a big deal. It's the "getting there"...
