MDJunction to me

grandmasylvia"MDJ has been "a soft place to fall" for me as Dr Phil says. I have this very painful rare disease Dercum's Disease and take comfort in finding others here who share their knowledge and compassion. Many
members have helped me just by understanding my anguish and validating
my pain. We are working together to encourage research toward a cure.

Ok I'm not sure I am going to do this but some of you know I am a Music Therapist. I am considering submitting a proposal for the conference in Nov. of 2008 wherein I could educate others in my field about what fibro is and how it impacts lives as well as current treatments people are trying.

If I did this it would be really great if some of you would at least be willing to do some form of a survey I would create to come up with stats about the condition.

The more the merrier but having at least a few dozen of you would make for better results. You name does not have to be included. Maybe you'll want your name- maybe even a story I don't know- all of this is something I could consider for this presentation.

I have to submit the proposal by midnight tonight so if you could let me know if you wouldn't mind being involved in at least a survey at some point ASAP - I'd appreciate it.

Meleggs

PS- Even if I do submit- it may or may not be accepted but I'm willing to try if I get the support!

Ermm Hey you guys I see about 20 of you looked at this but only 3 responded. Sad Really it won't be that big of a deal and I will get out there and EDUCATE people who are in the health field as to what we go thru!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) We all hate being misunderstood! but people can't or won't understand unless they hear from the people dealing with it- not just medical professionals treating it!!!!!!!

Unsure Please- reconsider!!!!!!!!

Ok I'm a bit desperate but at least honestCheerful
