MDJunction to me

carmen33"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here.

I hope this information regarding nailing down the proper diagnosis may be helpful to someone suffering with this frequently 'challenging' disease.  Perhaps a portion of the point of the following article is that when assigned a PH diagnosis, punch your way through the occasionally unpleasant medical tests, until you're absolutely sure what you're dealing with...

With my Best Regards.......Reluctant survivor
