MDJunction to me

"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:

72years old - caring person that loves people. I am not a doctor but a person that has been experiencing a lot of medical challenges. I'm willing to share my experiences and give my "personal" opinion.

Doctors definitely have their place and I applaud them for what they know. However, we know our bodies and need to share with them what we are experiencing so they can better diagnose and treat.

I recently released a book that talks about my experience with Occipital Neuralgia - "Unexpected Blessings in the Midst of my Pain. Go to my website to learn more about it.

	Well, I still face unconquered computer problems that have kept me offline since last November [2011]. If science can land a dune buggy on Mars, I can regain a regular link to MDJ. See my new diary entry. It has an important link in it. Always your FEARLESS leader with love, ELYAS FRAENKEL ISAACS
