MDJunction to me

Macv"For me, MDjunction has been a place where I can share my experiences
living with the very rare bone disease called Ollier's ( Enchondromatosis ) with the parents of children recently diagnosed. I can help them not to run
into the pitfalls my parents did when I was young, give them a bit of a view
from their child's perspective and simply be there to offer support and
hope to people who are scared and just had their lives upended. I also belong to a chronic pain group and it's been a Godsend to be able to actually
talk with others who understand what I'm dealing with. Besides them helping me through my tough times, I can be there to help them as well. Here too, I can use my years of experience to help others avoid pitfalls and it makes me feel good, gives my life more purpose. MDjunction brings people
together when their suffering, at their darkest and feeling alone in this world and allows some light to be brought back into their lives. HOPE, that's what
MDjunction means to me!

Good morning my wonderful friends, Hope you are doing well this fine day. Smile

I am back home but not entirely back here on site, as got an attack of shingles the night before coming down off the mountain. I was so thankful I had thrown in my shingles med out of habit, while packing to go. Once I figured out it wasn't a sinus infection, I started it right away. I am still in much pain and just feel plain lousy, but with my Tramadol, Tylenol and the Valtrex at least I can sit here and type for a bit. My head is already getting heavy though so this will be about it for now.

Hopefully I will feel like coming back online later and start catching up on posts for the last week. Ohhhhhh, my head aches thinking about how many I've missed. Pinch Maybe I will just do what shows for now and catch up over time. I know you have all taken good care of one another so have no worry about hurrying. Smile <3

Massive, contented to be home hugs! Can't wait to talk to you all. Karen

Glad your back Karen. Sorry you are ill, I am fortunate and haven't ever had shingles. I've had friends that have however and they were miserable.

Very gentle hugs.

The big guy, John.
