MDJunction to me

"MDJunction has become a lifeline to my recovery. I use this site as a daily coping tool where i can share my thoughts,my fears and ask ways to cope with living life with a illness. I also found new friends here and they have restore my faith in humanity. People everywhere come here to share same problems or solutions to problems we encounter in our lives. MDjunction is a wonderful site and has help not only myself but also my family and friends. I recommend this site to anyone who thinks they are alone dealing with an illness and also to those who have love ones who suffer from illnesses. I will keep spreading the word about MDJunction to organizations who deals with illnesses that would benefit having MDjunction as a support system.Bottom line is.. I found myself again through MDJunction" (mobey)

Hello, I am River. I may know some of you from other MD Junction groups. I was dignosed with COPD years ago and went into denial for quite awhile. I quit smoking a year ago this may. I am on oxygen all the time and use nebulizers several times a day. I also have sleep apnea and a whole host of other ailments. Thanks for being here. HUGS River
