MDJunction - People Helping People
 

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!

A little about me: I am here because I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, eczema, IBS, chronic pain, prurigo nodularis, migraines, essential tremors, sicca, PASS (post abortion stress syndrome), & fibrofog that is keeping me from being able to think of the other things. Now it seems I have Morgellons. I also now have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I hate to say, "what next?" but it seems like it just keeps on a comin'!
I have four children, four grandchildren, & a dog. I'd have more animals but my hubby doesn't like animals in the house.
My Awareness Ribbons
 
"I wear this ribbon to raise awareness to this disease. I would love for others to understand the seriousness of this disease and that it is NOT in our heads; other than starting there! I want others to know that with fibromyalgia comes many other conditions that normals could not understand unless they live with someone with fibro. Understanding is our major need, caring and other things will come after that."
