MDJunction to me

Sylvia4648"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)

Hello KJ (for short)! I am not entirely sure if anyone has any great medicine's from the UK, but I would like to tell you that I have found a few mates on FB from over the pond. IDK if you have a FB, but if you do, I would love to get you into touch with them to see if they can help you out. Cool <3 Candace

I haven't heard of anyone getting meds or treatment from the UK as best as I can remember. Sorry I can't be of more help.

But want to welcome you to the group for sure. Smile There are posts in the Medicine and Treatment Forum also, some pro some anti and some waiting to see. I am waiting to see what comes out in the wash before spending money on something that hasn't shown to really help for long, so far.

So glad to meet you and hope you will post more and let us get to know you!

KJ: the closest I have been able to track down thus far is our new friend Cal is from York, Northern England. I know that is not "close" to you in the UK, but it's a LOT closer than us over the pond in the USA. Tongue <3 Candace

Smile Kimjay, I had to chuckle when I thought about needing to tell you....Cal is one of the handful of guys in the group. Laughing The great thing is that he is and active poster and very kind and friendly, not to mention funny!!

KJ I also wanted to let you know that Cal is a male hehe. Tongue I think it's such an adorable name and my nickname happens to be: Can, so it goes well. Laughing SO glad that you found us and if you indeed do try Emuaid, please let us know your results. I have heard/read positive & negative reviews, so I am indecisive as to whether I would ever want to personally try it. Definitely not while currently pregnant. Anyway, we hope to hear from you again soon! Laughing <3 Candace

Hello Kimjay, Sorry for the late reply I'm here!! I am from the UK so our schedules should run smoothly this side of the sunshine Smile If you do want to chat about anything I'm here Smile

Even if you just want to grumble and moan send me a message if you want to be private and I'll help as best as I can okay?

I am in fact from York north England And despite the weather last week it's very waterlogged I hope you enjoyed the queens Jubilee and your flare ups aren't too bad?

Speak soon,

Cal
