MDJunction to me

jayna01"My name is Jayna and I wanted to take this opportunity to say how much MDJunction has meant to me. I always felt so alone before I joined in April of 2012. I felt like there wasn't anyone that really cared about me and what I was going through. I felt like there was no one that would truly listen to me in what I was feeling. Nobody was there for me. That is before I found MDJ!

I have found and met such good people on these forums. I never ever knew there were such compassionate people before MDJ. It's also nice to know that I can come here anytime and get support for what I am feeling. I feel like I have met some wonderful life long friends. It is also an outlet for me to try and help other people that are hurting. It gives me a good feeling inside and gives me self confidence in helping other people.

I hope MDJ will be as good for you as it has been for me! Many Blessings and Much love.

Does anyone else have this skin condition? I just find out I might. I have to go for a biopsy next week. I've read people with thryoid problems are prone to this?

Scary right now it can develop into cancer.

Grandma,

Good morning Smile ~~~

I have heard of this skin condition but never knew it could become cancerous nor that it is associated with thyroid conditions.

I will keep you in prayers that it is not serious.

Please keep us posted as to what you find out ~~~

We with us with hypo do have certain skin conditions. Dry skin can lead to other skin problems if not taken care of immediately. Must be recognized and the proper steps to be taken on order to cure it.

Not a problem that's what im here for to share me experiences with hypo so everyone can know what to expect in the future instead of it being a surprise. I still today learn about things everyday. And pass it on to others here. You are not alone at all.

Scott
