MDJunction to me

"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis." (Hazeldee)

Brandon, 27, says he’s never gone through puberty and despite being 6 foot 3 inches tall, feels he has the appearance of a 12-year-old boy. His lack of body hair and insignificant genital growth, as well as frequent fatigue may be indicative of Kallmann’s Syndrome. Brandon undergoes an MRI to allow doctors to examine his pituitary gland.
