MDJunction to me

neshama48"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support.

My diary is just that, a diary, that is not on my computer that never gets read. Thank you for taking the time to reading my rambling.


Easily Startled- Lithium

Apr 24 2012
I am easily startled, the other day it was a lizard on my front porch.  My only guess is it has something to do with my lithium medication. I feel on edge because of it, just unsettled, likea new vulnerability, in my armor.  People think I am nervous because of my lithium shakes, now I am jumping at shadows.  This just sucks; I will not quit taking my meds, yet I have complete empathy with people who do. 
 
One thing I have learned over the past year and half.  I have the ability to be stubborn, and the willingness to do so for years. I have tried a new approach, if I do not like something, move on, and quit hitting my head against the wall. These mediations may become my new enemy, and a war that has no end in sight. There one thing you need to know about me, I hate to lose.  I am completive, determined, resourceful, driven to succeeded, and stubborn.  I have given up drinking, given up a marriage, a career, so I can win and bent this madness to my will and be the master.
