what brought you all here?

How did everyone find their way to Medhelp?  I came here because of heart palpatations.  My journey took me from the heart disease forum (that was the only heart forum they had when I signed up), to the anxiety forum, to the dieting forum, to the gastroenterology forum and on and on and on.  I probably spend too much time on here but I find out a lot of cool stuff and I enjoy seeing others' perspectives on things.

I found medhelp after my doctor found a tumor on my ovary back in 06. I found the ovarian cancer website (no ovar. cyst forum at that time) made friends and found out a lot of useful info and talked to people going through the same things.  I ended up having the tumor (benign) and ovary removed.  7 months later at almost 39 and one ovary, I found out I was pregnant.  Holy ****!  I then found the 35 and older pregnancy forum (thank God!) and have been here ever since.  I still read the ovarian cancer site and check up on people I met there. I check in on the maternal/child, and the preg. 35/older, plus check in on the ovar. cyst forum (still having problems.)  I have made friends now and will probably hang around here for a long time.  

Crecco,
How are you doing?  It's good to see you "out and about".  I hope your treatment is going well.  You are a very strong and courageous woman.

  I stumbled upon medhelp while looking for info on ovarian cancer. I was immediately welcomed to the ovca forum and have been a regular member for a year now.

  Ziggysgrl, I am happy to hear that everything turned out well for you.

I had a tubal reversal in March 07 and beforehand was looking for others who had it done and then had a successful pregnancy (trying to help make up a decision) . So from very early 2007,  I lurked around for a couple months and then when I found out I was pregnant I made my first 'actual' post.

I've found this by doing searches to find online mood trackers. I have had all my moods written in paper for a while, but it's good to have them on a computer, especially for the graphs.
Then I went "oh, a social community I can be in instead of working!", and here I am.
