"To help others out there like me" (hochsner19)

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

I just wanted to say that since treating chronic Lyme is not an acceptable mainstream practice, LLMDs would be more likely to be the ones utilizing atypical modalities because most of those are not generally accepted, either. Both can get a physician in trouble.

I believe (in general) that LLMDs are open-minded, since they will do what is necessary to diagnose and treat a patient – including a Lyme patient with a multitude of symptoms. This quality also belongs to a doctor who will use many tools to assist with patient treatment.

So, whether or not we think that procedures like applied kinesiology or meridian stress assessment are valid or quackery, I think that we are thankful that there are physicians who look outside the box.
