MDJunction to me

"To me, Mdjunction comes down to motivation. The support and information I have found here motivated me to take a very proactive stance regarding my illness. This led me to find medication and doctors that are giving me my life back.
More important than even the motivation, though, is the friendship I have found at MDJ. I have made some of the best friends of my entire life right here in this group. Even though most of us have never met, it feels as if we have known each other for years.
If Angels walk among us, and I believe that they do, most of them are here at MDJ." (aTinaL)

I have Scheuermann's disease with an 87 degree kyphosis and all of the other problems that stem from it. Does anyone get Social Security / Disability for Scheuermann's?

Hopefully they will open their pea body minds out of their little bubble. Not many people know about Kyphosis. They don't understand that this is a dehabiliting disease. Not something that we make it up. Previous discussions I participated in: hey Did you Vomit MY 98 Degree curve
