MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

I have suffered with Fibromyalgia for 10yrs but only was diagnosed 5yrs ago.

I have 4 children and a loving husband who cares for me and supports me.

One 15 (boy, lives with my mother) 3 Girls ages 13, 10, & 8. The girls really love playing mum with me.... they make me brews, help me up and down and they do all their chores (well most of the time hehe)

I am classed as disabled and my husband is my full time carer.

Yes I went through the doctors notions of "Its all in your head", which can still be heard from ignorant GP's who refuse to budge on the situation.

We have 3 dogs, 2 German Shepherds (hubbies dogs) and 1 Jack Russell x Cocker Spaniel (mine).

I love camping in the Lake District with my family (yes sounds hard work) but hubby lets me take the comfy stuff with me so I get a goodnights sleep...

Hugs
