MDJunction to me

"When you have an illness with the name "Non-Familial Dysautonomia" (a name that most people, and even doctors, have never heard of), you need a network
of people who understand the name and the symptoms/issues that come with it.
MDJunction led me to that network of people during a very confusing and sickly time. For this I am thankful. And for this reason I try my best to give back to other members the same care and help that I received through MDJunction." (MissNikkiAnn)

Daily Victories

The daily struggle for me with my HS is easy to see as a challenge or a hardship or something overwhelming. I am choosing to look at the small victories I am able to attain over HS each day as well as being honest about the challenges.

Riding it out

Mar 07 2010

Today is a bad day and a good day. Such is the case with Bi Polar disorder and specifically the manic stage. I am raging through a manic the last 30 hours or so and it is a feeling I do miss. Sad asit is, there is no painfrom HS and no feelings of disgust and disdain of my body. All there is for me right now is blissful numbness.

But it will end. I am riding it out now.. and eventually I will sleep and wake up to the pain and discomfort again.

Small victory for today was handling a manic and not hurting anyone's feelings or making myself feel bad with bad decisions! WOot!

I am sorry that you have to endure so much. But big thumbs up on trying to find a balance to still be there for your family.

Keep it up..they need you as much as you need them.
Have a wonderful week.
