MDJunction to me

sharone"MDJ is so cool! I was able to work on all my problem areas separately but simultaneously. Eventually, with advice, support, direction and encouragement from a diverse bunch of genuine people, I began to heal and was able to put myself together as one unified whole. This site is one awesome tool!" (sharone)

Hi Everyone:

I just got diagnosed last month, but my doctor thinks I have had Lupus for years. I don't know anyone with Lupus so I thought this might be a good place to try to figure out what to do. I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Hi Doodles and welcome to the group. It is so nice to come to a place where people really understand what you are going through. Lupus can be different for each person, but you can always find someone here that can understand. I hope you visit often.
