MDJunction to me

ITeach91"MD Junction has been a lifeline to me. The support and information I receive from group members is so important for me to maintain a good quality of life. I struggled with a diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency and did not know where to turn, but then I found MD and it has been one of the most important tools to help me to enjoy my life and stay as healthy as possible. We really are stronger together than we could ever be alone." (ITeach91)

Well, hello there. Sorry you have to be here, but so glad that you found us. Like the others have said, this is a wonderful group and you will find a lot of support here in so many ways.

I have a 5 year old son. It's tough being a parent with fibro, don't you think?

Pull up a chair and hang out for a while. We'll be here whenever you need us.

Welcome to this group. I was recently diagnosed but have been sick since Jan of 2008. I also have a bladder disease and pelvic floor dysfunction which screamed out louder than Fibro. I have a weakness in my legs and they feel strange and hurt. So, too many things in the pot confused things. I thought I could only walk for about ten minutes because of the severe bladder pain and muscles not working correctly. I have asked a lot of questions and these wonderful ladies encouraged me with the possibility of having Fibro. It is a dirty word where I live so it was not simple. Best wishes to you!!! ~Nickie

Please thank your husband for all he is doing for our country. I know it is horrible what it takes from your family but it's truly so amazing and hopefuly it will all be over soon. Wink Huge Hugs! MDJ has a group that I had Roy put together because I was meeting alot of Military Wives in all of my other groups and Significant Others so I brought it to the sites owners attention that they could really also use a group to meet one another and see they are not alone, it's still fairly new so not a ton of members but it's going great, here is the link if ever interested. Wink They are great! HUGS!!!
