MDJunction to me

shamarie6"MDJunction to me is a place of refuge. A place I can come to for the support that I need, as well as a place to support others in need. A place where I don't worry about being judged because of my disabilities & there are people who truly understand what I live with on a daily basis." (shamarie6)

I'm an Advocate

Blazyn is now our new co-leader, and I'm so honored and thrilled that she has agreed to come on board with us! If you have any questions or concerns here in the group, please feel free to direct them not only at me, but also at Blazyn (Dana). If one of us can't be reached, chances are good the other can! Smile

If you want to know more about her, her profile can be found at the "Leaders" tab above. She's been through a lot, and even recently has undergone Gastric Bypass surgery, so take it easy on her--but she's home right now and probably bored, so she can definitely use a distraction, last I heard! LOL

Please, please help me welcome Blazyn aboard as the new co-leader, and remember that if there is anything you need, we can be reached by simply posting questions here on the board, or by PM. We're very happy to be working side-by-side, and so happy to have Blazyn as co-leader!

Hugs to all!

Just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen.

I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help. I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days.

Something has changed within me/Something is not the same/I'm through with playing by/The rules of someone else's game/Too late for second-guessing/Too late to go back to sleep/It's time to trust my instincts/Close my eyes and leap...I'm through accepting limits/Cuz someone says they're so/Some things I can not change/But till I try I'll never know/Too long I've been afraid of/Losing love I guess I lost/Well if that's love/It comes at much too high a cost/I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity/Kiss me good-bye I'm Defying Gravity/I think I'll try Defying Gravity/And you won't bring me down...

Teehee, I'm always around, for now anyway. So like Jen said, if anyone needs anything, I'm here! If I personally don't know the info, I'll do my best to find it for you!

I look forward to helping you all out and getting to know you all even better!!

Hugs,

Dana
