MDJunction to me

MissNikkiAnn"When you have an illness with the name "Non-Familial Dysautonomia" (a name that most people, and even doctors, have never heard of), you need a network
of people who understand the name and the symptoms/issues that come with it.
MDJunction led me to that network of people during a very confusing and sickly time. For this I am thankful. And for this reason I try my best to give back to other members the same care and help that I received through MDJunction.

I am new to this site & I am hoping it will be a great place to meet people who understand. I think it will be. I did have one friend who understood but unfortunately he isn't alive anymore and I'm having a really hard time dealing with it. I have been off work for almost a year trying to get a better hold on this disorder & I am going through yet another med change. Hopefully this one will work for me. Anyhow I wanted to say hello to everyone.

Welcome! I'm sorry for your loss. As has been said, you'll find many caring people here who understand what it's like to be bipolar. I hope to see more of you around here!
Purely my personal opinion, I'm not any kind of physician.
