What People Are Saying About My IDC
"I feel so fortunate to have been invited to join this community by my special e-pal, Lynne. I didn't realize how isolated I had become over the past few years and how much I needed support. I have also been shown how blessed one can feel by the act of giving. This site has made such a positive impact on my life and I find myself looking forward to each new day. I find the site to be full of comprehensive information and ways to meet the emotional needs of people living with chronic illness. Thanks for paving the way to this community."
~Kelli
To me, like so many others, IDA has given my life a new meaning. There is no way to get rid of RSD, but there is a way to make it positive the best one can. Being a member of My IDC has made that possible for me. I find myself researching other diseases to better understand what my fellow members go through each day. I find that my experiences with RSD have helped others that have it better understand RSD. So, I would never have had the opportunity to meet all my wonderful IDA friends with out having RSD. I must say, I still would rather be living without all the pain and problems from my disease, but I have learned to turn into something positive since it's gonna be with me no matter what. Thanks to you IDA, the opportunity is possible. I love everyone involved with making this site a hit! You have changes so many lives here. I will be a part of the IDC as long as I live. ~Conni
