Why wear a ribbon?

 
"Myself and family members on the spectrum." (mullion)

MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis.

The Caregivers Support Group is full of ways to interact and share your knowledge and experience. It's your chance to be around people who are dealing with the same issues as you do and understand you best.

The Caregivers Support Group has 3 main discussion topics. You can explore them by clicking the link on the left. As this group just started we'll need people to jump start it and make it as productive as other groups on this site are. To get an idea you can visit the Lyme group or the Fibromyalgia one.

It's important to keep an open mind to different opinions and points of view, different things work for different people. Remember! This group is all about people helping people and it’s not in any way a replacement for medical diagnosis and treatment.

You should wear a ribbon and tell people why, write a diary and most important – hug people. A hug is probably the best cure for anything Wink

And much much more…

For more information see our Group Guidelines.

Please contact me regarding anything you want Wink

We really want this group to blossom.
