MDJunction to me

liamacker"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)

Hello Matt and welcome to the group! My name is Judy and am a co-leader along with Viv. My daughter has been infected since Feb and so far is responding well to treatments. I know I am always looking into more alternative natural remedies for this killer bug and always discuss new plans of attack with my IDC doctor. I would be interested to hear what has worked for your swelling indeed. My daughter has it on the briddge of her nose and the sweeling gets to the point she cannot close her eyes or raise her eye brows with out pain.

Please stop in and keep in touch with us. Having more people on the forum definately helps all of our spirits and gets the word out. We are all here for each other.

Blessings...Judy

I would try the allimax .it is completley safe and took the swelling away in 6 weeks after 6.5 years of a swollen foot.My foot was as big as a football and now it is as normal size as can be with all the hardware in it.But try the allimax I am sure it is worth a try.
