Why wear a ribbon?

"I have fibromyalgia." (Deke)

MDJunction to me

"I am so happy to be a part of the MDJunction family! Where I used to be alone, I now have friends whom inspire me, comfort me, support me, and do not judge me. My new life began October 17, 2008. I weighed in with severe depression, social anxiety disorder and avoidant personality disorder. I was born with complications but I am fighting for my life and I will survive!!" (apieceofwork)

MY HUSBAND AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT HIS MOTHER HAS TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME AND ARDS. WE NEED HELP FINDING A DOCTOR WHO HAS TREATED THIS.

MY MOTHER-IN-LAW IS NOT WELL AND IS IN ICU AT THIS TIME. WE ARE SCARED!!!! IF ANYONE HAS HAD THIS OR WHO HAS KNOWN ANYONE. PLEASE PASS ALONG INFO B/C WE ARE NOT GETTING ANY FROM THE HOSPITAL AND THE DOCTOR WHO IS TREATING HER. TSS IS SO RARE THAT MOST DOCTORS WILL NEVER SEE OR TREAT IT. I HAVE LOOKED UP INFO ON THE INTERNET AND IT TALKS ABOUT THE OUT BREAK IN 1980 BUT STILL THE GOV. HAS NOT GRANTED ANY MONEY FOR LONG TERM RESEARCH.

THANK YOU!
