MDJunction to me

mobey"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 everyone. I just stumbled on MDJunction and found all the support groups I could ever want. lol. So happy to have found it.

I'm new to the forum but not to Fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed in 2004 but was triggered in '98 after an auto accident. I've gone through the grieving process and learned not to panic over evey pain this disease causes. There were times I didn't think my mind could handle all the ups and downs, but I think I've got a pretty good handle on things now. Thankfully.

Thank you for being a support group ... it's a relief to find others who understand this illness.

Hugs,

Avalon
