[88...] Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It sounds like she has something in common with us. She has a mysterious condition and most people don't believe her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[tr...] Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I would love to know if she has a benzo history. I've been misdiagnosed too many times not to think so. Some kook pdoc prolly came up with this "mysterious" diagnosis that no one knows a damn thing about...how convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[88...] Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hi, here's a link for her disease, Morgellens (hope I spelled that correctly): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/healthy-living/ I think the disease is real and big medicine can't quite figure out what it is, so she and others with this malady have been maligned.

[be...] Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 The book is called: In Her Own Words, by Joni Mitchell, tho it was written by a long time friend. It is all Q&A. It was a very difficult read for me as she is my all time fav and she is not the person you think she is. Freedom: I agree 100%. When the medical field cannot find out what is the root of the problem, they say, Oh it must be a mental illness. Same thing happened with Lyme early on. Same thing happens to us. Tryin: Just read the book and if you read between the lines, she and her cronies in the music field took drugs as much as Jim Morrison. She also started smoking 3 packs of ciggies a day when she was something like 11. No wonder she said she lost her voice! jc: I agree. Especially the part when she was afraid to leave her LA home for fear of being stalked. :'( Gardenia: I am so super jealous. I've seen most of my favorite bands/singer about 7 times. I once had tickets to her concert and went and she walked off the stage after trying to sing two song, never to return. Pissed me off for years. She mentions this in her book. I don't have that Rolling Stone cover, but I do have a rare album where there is just a pix of John Lennon's bloody glasses on it. It was removed from the shelves right away because they thought it was too awful to show to the public. It was. But I still cherish it, as so few have it. That is truly :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[be...] Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yes, that was back in the days when they didn't have screens; only opening bands. You never see those anymore. That album came out in 1975, so I was still a babe then....But at least you heard her live, while I did not. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[mu...] Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Joni singing goodbye blue sky.....she also sings the tide is turning in this concert. My father said Joni was a serious drug addict into heroin& benzos stardom got to her and it wasnt mental health straight it was mental health caused by drug abuse. Same way we are suffering except our struggle wasn't a life choice that choice was made for us. Joni Mitchell chose to take drugs illegally. Stevie nicks was also another one into drugs but this was also hidden. But she shows clues into her drug addiction in the song gold dust woman.....gold dust referring to heroin and the line take your silver spoon dig your grave is a reference to cooking it up on the silver spoon and the inevitable result is a slow death through addiction to heroin. Alot of singer's from that era where severe drug addicts. Eric Clapton marc bolan keith moon john lennon david bowie Freddie Mercury all secret addicts Freddie Mercury of Queen hired midgets to walk about with trays of cocaine on their heads. Amazing what you find out reading and listening to lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[pr...] Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Stevie nicks was also another one into drugs but this was also hidden. Stevie does talk about her ten years of klonopin use and the troubles it caused her. she talked about it on Oprah just recently. she doesn't go into too much detail for some reason and i have to wonder why? maybe her record contract doesn't want her to, i don't really know? i know she had a bad withdrawal as my Dermatologist was in Daniel Freedman with her and watched what she went through but the way she talks about it, i have a feeling she wasn't hit as hard as let's say like someone like myself. i went to one Joni Mitchell concert and me and my dad had first row and my dad kept saying "she's looking at me" throughout the whole concert.
