MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis.

Welcome Dillytime and thanks for the 'heads up'. Sorry you have gone through so much trying to get rid of this lousy virus. I wish for you that this trial is a big success. I've heard very good things about it. Somethings gotta give very soon with all these new promising drugs. I myself will look into it still but I am signed up for the 7977 Ribavirin trial which starts March 12th. I was on the 7977-938, the one that was halted and this is the rollover treatment they offer. I am sure having a time of it sorting out whether I should do this one or not.

Let us know how you are doing. After two tx's you could be very helpful here in this group so pop in anytime and also let us know how treatment is going. Take good care!
