MDJunction to me

"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)

A little about me:

I am new to disease. I had always been a healthy person until now. I guess I will just have to educate myself about this chronic disease. I have been told by the rheumatologist that I probably have Sjorgens but that I also might have Lupus and/or Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease. "What difference does it make, as far as treatment?" I asked. "None," he answered, "we use the same treatments for all of them."

But I'm a fighter. I am going to find out everything I can about autoimmune diseases and try to lead as normal a life as I can.

It is so good to be able to support and have support from others that are going through the same thing!

	True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.
