I live in the northeast and suffer from seasonal depression. I basically hibernate from november until april. Besides moving, I’d really like to talk to people about how they’ve conquered their depression. I’m a really cynical person and depression has got me beat :confused:

I am a 44 stay at home mom to Jimmy 11 with DMD.

Hello Everyone:

I have two boys with DMD Dan(13) and Matt(11).
This life sure has it’s challenges. Interesting in grouping with other families with the same diagnosis.

Hi, I have a 13 yr old son with DMD in New Zealand. He is well, and has been non-ambulant for 3 1/2 years.
My topics of interest in this community are spinal surg ( hasn’t had as yet) , respiratory health, cardiac care and meds, Deflazacort( he uses) , research and cellular nutrition. I also have an interest in finding international airlines who have hoists in their craft!
I’d love to chat to others who are (like myself) fighting for our sons, and keeping on top of the management game!

I am a dad of a 6 year-old who was diagnosed with DMD at age 4. My wife and I have been married for 20 years and he is our only child. We live near Houston, TX and would like to connect with DMD parents.

I’m 37 and have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

My husband is 31 and has DMD. I like to hear from others affected by DMD and share helpful information.

Hi people!

My name is Jason and I am new here.  Looks like an awesome website here!  I look forward to meeting new people here and making new friendships.    I am 31 with DMD.  Feel free to ask me about my condition or anything else.
