MDJunction to me

"MDJunction is a wonderful place, full of wonderful people. People that I have learned that I can rely on for anything that I need whenever I need it;
A hug in times of stress.
Prayer in times of crisis
Encouragement in times of doubt.
A laugh in times of sadness.
A smile in times of heartache.
Hope in times of hopelessness.
Assurance in times of fear.
A reminder of the good things in life in times of depression.
And most importantly, love when I need it the most. MDJ has become like a family to me. I have priceless friends that I will hold in my heart and love forever. MDJ is a place of safety, when I know I can be myself and that I am loved. Thank you all SO much, you mean the world to me." (TalithaCumi)

This is from my neurologist; I got excited after reading about Dr.Jho here in Pgh.

Michele,

There are still no treatments proven to be helpful for NDPH, including "decompression" surgeries. We are all still hopeful for breakthroughs in this area, but to date none has occurred. Feel free to contact me periodically with such questions, and I wish you the best of luck with the pain management until the day the headache "switches" off.
