MDJunction - People Helping People
 

MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

A little about me: I live in MI with my husband & son.

10 months after my son was born I had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 23. Since then, I have had to have 2 more surgeries to remove more endometeriosis as well as a surgery to remove a breast tumor.

The pain is still there, but I think that I have somewhat learned to deal with it - for now. I am still trying to get used to everything else that goes along with surgical menopause - hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia, etc.

I am also the main caregiver to my husband who has had Multiple Sclerosis since 1999. We married in 2002. He has gotten worse lately after having 2 flares at the start of 2009. He is no longer able to work & uses a wheelchair full time to get around.
