MDJunction - People Helping People
 

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."

a HugHello dear ones! As Paulette said, it is time for another group hug :)
An it is time to swing it out of the park too. Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior is close to winning the Best Health Blog Contest. We were number one for some hours, which proves we can actually achieve this.
Rheumatoid disease is simply NOT understood. Period. It is not talked about. It is not acknowledged. We are invisible.
It is time not to be invisible anymore.
Haven't you felt, many times, you don't have a voice, or your voice can't be heard?
This is a chance to MAKE your voice heard. Please continue to vote, once daily, until Feb 15th.
We are RA Warriors!!!

a HugGood morning. I wanted to remind you to vote for the RA Warrior blog. We are now 400+ points behind first place, and we only have one week to do this!!

Aren't you sick and tired of people not knowing what RA is, and saying things to you like "oh my grandmother had that in her finger", or "but you don't look sick", or "take some advil", or "its not that bad, its only arthritis", or "take a hot bath, you'll feel better"??
Wouldn't you like to shout to the world "Its RA, and here's what you need to know about it"? Wouldn't you like RA to get as much research money poured into it as diabetes, autism, and a host of other chronic diseases?
YES? Then get on this site and vote!
If you don't have facebook or twitter I'm sure you have friends that do, so ask them to get on and vote FOR you!

I simply cannot stress how vitally important this could ultimately be to the future of RA treatment, publicity, and our health!!!

So don't stand on the sidelines. Get involved and help us... help yourself!!

a HugJust a reminder to all vote for the RA Warrior. We are a bit behind Breast Cancer, but if everyone voted once a day until the 15th, we would win!
Here is the site: http://www.healthline.com/health/best-health-blogs-contest

Thanks and I'm sending healing thoughts and prayers to all.
