MDJunction to me

thematrix777"MDJunction has been my lifeline. In the beginning, when I was at my worst physically and emotionally people helped me through the rough times with compassion, understanding and information. As I progressed and finally got a handle on my condition, giving back that same support and hope has been my mission. To all that come here seeking help or information, you will be able to find in all of the various forums; no matter what issues you are going through, there is always a helping hand to raise you up and provide hope and support when you need it the most."

LovemyAboys,

Before I came here, I felt alone too. No one understood what I was going through, and I felt like I was the only one. I found this group, and have gotten many suggestions to help me, as well as support, and love from these members. I am so glad that you found us, and as everyone has already said, make yourself at home, and hope you will become comfortable here. Glad you are now part of our family HUGS

Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

Love, you will find that no matter how " werid " or embrassing you may think a question is there is someone here who has had the same one and has some words of encourgment. For lack of a better way to say it this site is like a giant body pillow for the bed that is your FM LOL , Anyway enough of that crazy we are always here when you need us but we try not to leave the light on ... unlike motel 6 we have more rooms and an electric bill to pay LOL
