  "I have Addison's Disease " (GirlyGibson)

MDJunction to me

jaguar62"Here's a success story for you ,, there was this poor guy who all he ever did was work his butt off day in and day out, and would settle for no less than perfection which caused him to somewhat be an outcast among his peers.

But then people around him started to notice that failure wasn't an option and this guy could really get things moving in the direction they were supposed to go so when they had an issue they would hesitantly ask for assistance at first.

But as time went on more and more people started getting referred to him. Before you knew it he was recognized and he had a top executive job,Escalation Supervisor of the whole Eastern Coast of United States for a communications company was staying busy like he loved to do and helping people along the way and life was excellent, good salary and benefits ,loved going to work "everyday".

Then one day (it was a period of time ) it was over ...seemed like it disappeared in an instance (after being diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease at the age of 49) and it stayed that way forever it seemed and life was slowly deteriorating around him ..depressed , no motivation, no job, health issues getting progressively worse much faster than just Parkinson and then being told it has possibilities of being MSA (Multiple Systems Atrophy) well seeing as i wasn't working i started checking out sites online and just so happened on MDJunction and the Parkinsons Support Group and absolutely loved the forums and feed back from the GLs and found out it wasn't just poor me at all, it was lots of wonderful people who shared the same symptoms that i was and still am going thru every day but in a whole lot better more positive frame of mind . So after about a year of posting and reading the forums daily and meeting so many good people I knew i wanted to give back some of this well needed love that i had received , So I applied for a Group Leader Position and ...

I had a "new job" and its helping people as well as getting the necessary help I now require and I can do it 24 hrs a day if i want to ..HOW GOOD IS THAT .

THATS MY SUCCESS STORY/Testomonial
OH Yeah!I almost forgot the best part is the wonderful fellowship around the workplace,,

MDjunction has opened my eyes and offered me a new beginning to what was looking like a very dark end. thanks MDJ (and yes i do know where I would be without you.)

I'm checking in due to GL wanting to hear from us! Smile I've been very busy trying to survive - my husband ruptured his achilles tendon 7 weeks ago and my work load has doubled or trebled! Very tired, but I'm coping. Fibro pain is increased so went to physio. Physio made it worse so I'm not going to return. For those of you who pray, I could use your prayers. Hope you all are in a good place with your health.

adbarrett, so good to hear from you Smile but so so sorry to hear about your husbands recent injury. That has to be very painful for him. And the added work, I know that is painful for you!

Yeah, physio can be worse than nothing if it isn't the right one for you. Stinks that we have to take medication even to get a therapy done. Tongue

I will send prayers your way for sure and know others will too, that you feel better and that you can get back into your routine asap.

Angel wing hugs,

Karen

adbarrett~

It is so good to see you back here, although I am so sorry to hear all that you are going through right now. Although, your husband couldn't stop his injury, it still adds a great deal of work for you and adding more pain I would think.

I too will send prayers for both you and your husband, will include you everyday, morning and night when I say my prayers.

I hope that you and your husband will feel better soon, so life can get back to "our somewhat normal" life. That will be my prayer.

Take care, and keep in your mind always, that we are over here is the US praying for you and your husband as well. When things get hard, try to remember that we care and are praying for you. I'm sure there will be more to come from others as well.

Sending Healing Hugs to you~
