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

My name is Pamela. My son is 22, almost 23 and was just finally diagnosed after having temp blind spells that would last from 15 minutes to 2-3 hours for the last 8 years. The Dr said it was genetic, and from what we have found it is through my ex (his bio dad) side of the family. As a Mother of a child with it I know how devastating it was when he told me what they found. I can only imagine how devastated he is, with his whole life in front of him. I was told to check into the Mayo Clinic and see if they have any information on it. I will post on here and let you know if I find anything.

My husband and I were in a bad auto accident last year and I am now disabled, we were all devastated to hear that, and now this. To me, my son is so much more important that all my syndromes and conditions I now have.

I will definately post when I have some info.

Prayers to those with it, and to the parents as well.


Pamela {please}

I wish tons of love and hugs!
