MDJunction to me

Macv"For me, MDjunction has been a place where I can share my experiences
living with the very rare bone disease called Ollier's ( Enchondromatosis ) with the parents of children recently diagnosed. I can help them not to run
into the pitfalls my parents did when I was young, give them a bit of a view
from their child's perspective and simply be there to offer support and
hope to people who are scared and just had their lives upended. I also belong to a chronic pain group and it's been a Godsend to be able to actually
talk with others who understand what I'm dealing with. Besides them helping me through my tough times, I can be there to help them as well. Here too, I can use my years of experience to help others avoid pitfalls and it makes me feel good, gives my life more purpose. MDjunction brings people
together when their suffering, at their darkest and feeling alone in this world and allows some light to be brought back into their lives. HOPE, that's what
MDjunction means to me!

I was really happy to find this site. I have been living with someone who is BP for the past two years and have been feeling at my wits end. I am looking forward to meeting people who understand what I am going through. Just starting a diary here has given me some relief. A place to vent without reprecussions is so nice. Smile

Welcome to our little family where we do more healing and listening than your local psychiatrist...and charge less.

I just thought things would go back the way they were because I thought that there was still a wonderful person with a heart that still loved me.
---why we stay with them, thanks sososad51


My love for her is eternal...see you in heaven.
Well, maybe not...that was then and this is now. Not enough of me...so all my love to my son, self, and future "her".

I've moved on physically and mentally....but my heart does'nt want to come along for the ride.
...thanks DrDiva

I have always been able to fix things....I can't "fix" this.
....Thanks, Southerskies

Stop living in hope....move on.

This disease changes our loved ones into becoming the monsters we never knew existed.

I have learned to mourn the Death of a Living person....for the one I loved 'died' years ago.
thanks, Crushedheart

We Will Never Forget...that they are the crazy ones not us!

Thanks for the welcome. Just glad to have someone who can understand without judging or accusing me of over-reaction.

Awesome! Thanks! Today hasn't been too bad. Quiet, boring, I guess I should be thankful for that.

Welcome Fergi. I have only been a member for one month and have found so much support from these amazing members. They have provided me with so much comfort and kept me together. I know they will do the same for you and I will try to help too.
