"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since being diagnosed with pericarditis." (Hazeldee)
