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)

day 3...so far so good

Mar 19 2010

so i felt better after finding this site and posting a hello and rambling about my current problems, and i took that momentum and have done well for another 30 hours or so. the plan is to keep to2 painkillers a day to keep the withdrawls away and then wean off of that. so far, i've been able to do that for 3 days. and today was a test-i did a job that usually causes me great pain without taking more percocet. and last night, when i got home from a 15-hour day at work, i had my nightly dose (and no more) and a tiny glass of wine (instead of half a bottle of vodka) and one cigarette (instead of 6-8). and today i felt much better when i woke up than i have in quite a while....good incentive to keep it up. well, it's time to go home now and try to do well again. wish me luck and best of luck in your endeavors....we'rea ll in this together which makes it a bit easier...
