MDJunction to me

"When I found MD Junction, I was in the beginning stages of RSD/CRPS. I was scared, lacked knowledge about the condition, and felt very alone.

MD Junction changed all of that for me. I found friendship and terrific information from people who had first-hand knowledge of this syndrome. It was and still is a big part of my life.

MDJ was my first step on the journey of grief; from denial to acceptance. I am now inspired to help others by sharing this amazing site and sharing my own experiences. I am very impressed that one forum site can provide hope and inspiration to people suffering from so many different conditions. I am proud to be a part of this community.

Hi! I am 64 and live in central Ohio.I retired from a major insurance company after 23 years working as a customer service trainer and overpayment recovery specialist.

I have had DD for at least 40 years but was only diagnosed 5 years ago. I had previously been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. At the present time there is no cure for DD.I use every palliative measure I can think of to make it through the chronic pain. My DD has progressed steadily and now I am pretty much an invalid from the DD combined with diabetes and degenerative arthritis.

I have a wonderful husband, two children and 4 grandchildren so I have a lot to make me happy. I love life despite the pain and other manifestations of DD.I want very much to be of help to all of my fellow sufferers.

Enjoy Life! Hugs, Grandma Sylvia
