MDJunction to me

cinderella"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

I would like to thank everyone that was there when i need them. My husband still seem to being doing well, he is still working. Far cry from thinking he was god.

He seem grounded at least for now with absoultly no meds he wouldn't take them. So it took him 8 months to get back from his psychotic trip.

I still can't let go of the way he was i still think it will happen again i pray it will not

I hope i can get over these feeling of not letting go of how he treated me when he first got sick. again thanks and i will keep everyone posted

Diane: I'm sorry, but I don't know you or your story.... You think it's gonna get better with no meds? Think again, girlfriend. I hope he doesn't put you in the morgue.

Diane, I'm glad you are doing better and your husband is more stable. But do not get comfortable because Warhorse in right, with out meds he will not get better, maybe on hold for a few weeks months maybe even a year... But if its BP it will come around again...harder...faster...stronger. Trust me I've seen it and its not pretty I'll never get comfortable again.

YOU can't let go of these feelings because they are instincs not feelings, trust them!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you feel at all he is being guarded? not talking to you about how he feels.

Just watch for the manic. My husbands DR told me he is one of the best at hidding his manic.

I know you came here to give a good report, sorry to the other sour comment we just care.

...in my opinion.

“If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast”.

Diane

That is wonderful news !

My XSO went for years in between breaks.

Each one got worse.

The last one...

has lasted for three years .

He has brain damage.

It is good news that your man is feeling better.

Enjoy the good times.

I remember the years we had, when he was well.

Those memory's are priceless.

Living, my ex-husband became manic 3 years ago. It is unbelievable but his "episode" has lasted 3 years now. He is not himself, it is clear. He has done the craziest things financially and otherwise. He is deep in debt now. He left the country some months ago and no-one of his family knows where he lives now. He must have brain-damage too. It is so sad he never accepted any help and that he found this woman who is now his wife and who "believes in him".

Diane, I am happy for you. Good times can last even years. When the time is right for him, maybe he will be more open to meds, maybe he just needs some time to adjust. Psychoses will usually return and they get worse every time. It would be very wise to try to prevent psychotic episodes. Remaining psychotic for a long time can be disastrous.

However, it is great news that he is doing better now.

Lena

It is sad that he did not accept help.

He lives in a box he built in the woods.

It is clear to all now, even those that did not believe me..blamed me etc..

that he is gone gone gone.

The naysayers

they just don't *look* at him anymore.

I'm always glad to see you Lena-Diane I realize in your case your husband has not been receptive to any type of treatment. I really am glad for you that things are going well for him now. I pray that through some source he stays healthy and safe and that you do too.
