MDJunction to me

"MDJ has been "a soft place to fall" for me as Dr Phil says. I have this very painful rare disease Dercum's Disease and take comfort in finding others here who share their knowledge and compassion. Many
members have helped me just by understanding my anguish and validating
my pain. We are working together to encourage research toward a cure." (grandmasylvia)

Getting through life

I just need a place were I can get out what is on my mind.
I need to share with others.
And with people who understand.

I didn't go to school again today. Which means I will be even more behind. It seems as if my pain keeps getting worse and worse each day. I don't know how I'm going to do this.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Can one of your parents go to the school and get your assignments? I did that for my daughter when she was really sick and she did what she could when she could so going back wouldn't be so bad.

I am so sorry that you are feeling so bad. My daughter is very sick right now and has not been to school in a week. She is upset about all the work too, but like I told her, you will have to make it up as you can. I did go and get some of her work but she is in advanced classes and her teachers said that most of the work had to be done in class. She has 2 projects and a paper that she is behind on too. Please do not get so discouraged, that will only make you feel worse. Have you or your parents talked to your teachers and principal and told them about your situation? Maybe they could arrange for some homebound classes until you feel better. Talk to you md and maybe he will request it.
