What people said about the 2007 convention
I so ENJOYED the conference, with all the presentations and chatting with other patients about their issues, treatments and successes, etc. ALL was so valuable to me and I walked away soaring on a cloud!!!! I have since emailed others there whom I exchanged email addresses with as well as spoken to one lady I had received her phone number. I know from receiving responses to my emails and talking to the one who were there we all walked away from the conference knowing we had had A WONDERFUL time and had gained great information!!!! THANK YOU for ALL of your efforts in making this event possible!!!
Thank you so much for everything you did for a WONDERFUL conference. I am such an introvert that the first conference I stayed to myself but still enjoyed attending. Because you allowed me to participate in this conference I really was able to meet so many people.
What you have done in creating MAGIC has (I can already assure you) changed my life ... I feel so much more empowered to manage my own healthcare. And it is a WORLD of difference knowing I'm not going it alone!! What a terrific panel you had (great speakers) as well as awesome participants in the audience!
Personally, I learned 3 things about my meds that were unknown and I have to speak with my endo now to adjust all. I've also decided that, after I finish the research study I'm in for 8 months, I definitely need to be on growth hormone so I've gotten up the nerve for the daily injections like the others. (Now, it's just once a week.) I've already been in touch with a few from the conference, and that's exciting.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OUR WONDERFUL SPEAKERS!
