MDJunction to me

cinderella"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

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is feeling well on this wonderful day. I have been given the opportunity to give a speech in one of my college classrooms about the definition of lupus and the difficult diagnosis. I have a few more sources to gather in order to complete my speech, but I am incredibly excited to be able to raise awareness about this "hidden" disease that we are all suffering from! If you all have any input for my speech (including stories, hardships, diagnosis difficulties etc.) and don't mind your name being used as an "interviewee" please inform me! I really appreciate it in advance! Smile Smile

We all need to step up and make people more aware of this disease so people can better understand what we're all living with daily!

My name if Roxann and I would be glad to help anyway I can with your speech. This disease needs to be talked about and explained to others as this is a disease that is very much misunderstood. Good luck and hope I can help.
