Every day on Carenity, there is a huge amount of you that share information about your condition, you talk about different subjects with different members, you get informed, you give your opinion, and you contribute to medical knowledge...

In this context, we would like to bring you together around a subject: #Together on Carenity.

We want to know what this means to you, through an anecdote, an everyday story in Carenity: how “being together” has helped you to learn more and cope with your condition, how you see that it has changed your “engagement” in your health…

Don’t hesitate in expressing all you want on this discussion and keep in mind that this will help other members to not feel alone in Carenity.

If you would like to be interviewed and share a longer testimonial, like the one of Ann, don’t hesitate in contacting me.

 

Thanks everyone! #together, we are stronger

#Together on Carenity has meant for me to have someone that understands, that doesn't judge and to have a place where I know I can say exactly how I feel and people will understand and help me get through. It has also been a place to find amazing people and discover that people when they are sick, they are not their condition, like me Jen I am not MS, I am much more than that. I've discovered that some are paintors, and writers, others amazing photographers, or dads, nurses... me I am a proud mom who loves acting in the community theater and gardening when my body allows me.

Thanks a lot Carenity and all the people that is here making this place great :)

It was meant for me to meet new people. i find that it helps me with my problems that I have with my Asthma & Diabetes. I like to read what other people take for the same thing that I have. If I find out that it's working for them, I ask my doctor about it to see if I can also take it. Thanks a lot for all the help u have been giving me Carenity!

Carenity is a great lifeline for myself & others to be able to reach out and not feel judged by others who don't suffer in the same way as we do,x

We are all unique in our own ways, and yeah everyone needs a helping hand from time to time. Carenity to me is a breath of fresh air, quite simply cos I'm never on my own now, with not a soul who can understand and relate to me. Just wanna say thanks to you all and I really hope its a Happy Christmas for us all.

 

Love you all loads

Debs

I don't feel lonely any more as I know the Carenity is there for me and my illness.

I feell more happier and positive about taking my medication.

I feel part as a family unit.

Hi Elvis

i suggest you seek urgent medical help, as COD is bad enough in itself. but having panic attacks and medication that does not help will only make things much worse????

 For panic attacks perhaps you wife could try to doing some light breathing exercises, that do not cause her any exertion? i do yoga and find that this helps me to relax a lot easier

i hope it helps Keith
