Hi, I was wondering what DS means to you. In just a few words, what would your answer be?
Sense I'm starting this discussion I'll be the first to answer.

To me DS is my life line.
Thanks for doing this, I think the answers will be very interesting.

A way to meet new friends... and discuss treatments, rant, have fun, laugh, share, cry and whatever else helps us get through this horrible disease.

Its a valuable resource and outlet for me. It also validates that I am not "the lone ranger" and helps keep me out of the "poor me" woes.

Thanks to all of you for your support!

DS is to me,

A place to make friends that actually understand.

A place to discuss whatever is bothering me without being judged.

A place to learn about fibro from people that have it and are doing different treatments.

A place to laugh and lighten up. :)

It's the only place in my life where I am understood, without question. Since I'm relatively new here it's almost hard getting used to. lol

DS has been a Blessing to me. I do not take antidepressants anymore. I have found a way to relate and be okay.

DS is a miracle. I know of no other word to describe this place and the people in it. I have hardly met anyone who was cruel or mean on here, and this place is my reprieve from the world. It keeps me sane to know I am not crazy and that I am not alone.

It is my lifeline.

A sharing, caring place where I have made some wonderfully supportive friends.

A great source of information.

A place to share feelings, tears, and lots of laughs (after all laughter is the best medicine).

It is a place of acceptance.

And I am forever grateful.

Gentle Hugs to ALL!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
