Adults dealing with Mitochondrial Disease sometimes feel they have no where to turn for support. Mitoldies list is created for adults who have or suspect they have a mitochondrial disorder to discuss the needs and issues that must be dealt with on a day to day basis. It is also for the caregivers. We welcome your posts and hope we can be a source of support, strength and encouragement at all times. This list was created to discuss your adult needs whatever they may be. We welcome your posts and hope we can be the support you are seeking. We are looking forward to meeting you.

"Be a thriver, not just a survivor; be an active participant in your treatment; investigate every possible avenue; push the medical system to its limit; and then, no matter what the outcome, you will not have been defeated and will have lived life as fully (if not more so) than most."
