MDJunction to me

peasha"This has been one of the most supportive places I have ever been. I found MDJ by mistaking looking for drs to help me with my many health issues and since that day over a year ago I have found a tight nit little family that keeps me going when the times are tough and offers me a place of retreat to share my successes and failures with others. I get to see the humor and seriousness of what I experience as well as the resources to learn about my health conditions. Thanks MDJ" (peasha)

Now that I found this site I'm on it more than facebook or my space. I'm addicted to it. lol Laughing

I think its due to the fact I can relate to people here more than the ones out there in the other world.

Cool

Peace & hugs

Rick

It is very easy to become an MDJ Junkie! Its rather addicting, at least its a supportive addicting, you are either helping someone or getting helped yourself. Wink

I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey

I am pretty much the description to MDJ addiction, I belong to 8 groups at the moment, it was more before but I had to leave some groups because it was too much lol. I am active in all but fully active in the others. Group Leader to 3 of them. I am disabled and cannot drive so I am stuck in my house when my husband is working or sleeping, I have alot of time on my hands with my illnesses. When I first joined over a year ago MDJ gave me so much hope and overwhelming support and I am just glad I can give back just as much. Wink

I love this group. It gets me out of my head and is here for me every single time I need to talk. It also helps me by letting me help others, which is awesome. I think there's a lot worse things to spend your time doing!!
