MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis.

Ryan has them, even when he wakes up from sleep. It makes me sad because the pain he's in is written all over his face. I've never said anything but sometimes I'll rub his eyebrows to try and get him to relax. I think the only permanent solution is botox or dysport! Even with that, they want you to practice relaxing those muscles to train your body not to use them so hard. Hard to do when it hurts! Sad sorry guys.

My advice is purely personal. I am not a Doctor and nothing I say should be a substitute for getting proper medical diagnosis and advice.

It's kind of nice to know we are all in the same boat, even though it's one of those weird symptoms no one wants Smile
