 "bipolar disorder" (limited)

MDJunction to me

grandmasylvia"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)

<rolls out the red carpet> Welcome to MDJunction and to the group! I have been on this site for about 2 years and it has been very helpful. The people here understand and we are very supportive of each other. Bipolar is a life long illness and a strong support system can help you manage your symptoms. Welcome to the family!
