MDJunction to me

"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)

Hello, I have never been online in a "chat", so I am new to this but I have been living "mostly in denial" With Bipolar type 2 for about 13 years. My husband thought that this would be a good idea for me so here I am.... Ta-Da Sick
