is feeling Bad
FYI to all my DS friends: As much as I appreciate the wonderful sentiments in many of the FWD emails that are out there, I do not have the energy, nor can I keep track of who sent, rec'ved, etc., them. Please understand that I WILL NOT be responding to these types of messages from you. This does not in any way mean I don't like you or am upset with you. You may send them as long as you realize I will not pass them on. I'm 48 and have a whole litany of medical problems, including asthma, diabetes, fibromyalgia and IBS. My faith and my loved ones are what sees me through. I have a bratty but loved female cat named Tyler and I live with two wonderful friends, a married couple. I just started selling Watkins Products, have not worked a normal job in 8 years! BizbyDeb.com is my business site. If you can give out catalogs and send email, it might be the business for you too!
My hobbies are reading, writing and website building. I sing with a womens barbershop chorus and just finished a 2 year term as pres. of our group.

Hello Friends,
It's been a very long time since I posted or checked in. Our chorus began a recruiting program in the summer, then …
I am trying to get into low income housing and have the space I need. I also have my own business and it's a good one but I have to sell really good products and I'm not into pushing products that are good as far as not hurting the earth and also that work. It's sort of like selling Avon products without the bad stuff in it with the added plus of them being shipped to the house and not me delivering them. The products work but I am going to buy them for me so I don't have to shop for the stuff. They sell household cleaners, laundry detergent, personal products, vitamins and supplements, some snacks, etc. I have tried their things and they work besides not having all the dangerous chemicals in them. I had an order in Januray but alas ended up in the hospital for the entire month. Where you live and who you live with sounds great. It's also great that you get along so well. I only have one cat and that's Tangie. She's my baby (literally). She is a pure bred Persian and that breed loves a lot of attention and loving. They are not play cats but mostly affection craving cats. They only pick one owner that they attach themselves to and that was me. You have cats and I bet you have one at least that you would consider "yours". I am going to live alone but I finally hopefully found an agency that will be there to help me with my check book, grocery shopping, etc. I have to fill out some papers and such so that they can help me. I have a lot of legal stuff to go through also. I don't know how much longer I am going to be around but as usual I have a battle ahead of me and I am stuck handling it. I figure now I should be enjoying life but I don't think that's possible now anymore. I just talked to an aquaintence that had to divorce the mother of his children because she has brain cancer and got him and his children in trouble because of all the bills that were incurred because of her illness. He was almost in tears when he told me that he had to divorce her. People like you and I are lucky and have others. My Mother is the only one I have left besides a couple of people who aren't related to me. She is going to be 85 and fell last week. I have to have space so that I don't do that again myself. I need to get around in that wheelchair because I don't have any feeling from the waist down. I hate to leave her but I have to or else there's going to be a competition between her and me as to who does themselves in by falling, etc. I will be about a mile away from her so I can call and also visit alot. She also has to learn to take care of herself. It's a long and lousy story. Well I am glad that you got in touch with me and am glad to yak back and forth anytime. If you ever need to talk send me a message and I'll get back to you. LOL galed7956
I'll help you if I can.........my e'mail is..............lindaort@hotmail.com
It's really hard to exercise when you have flare ups and so little energy. I just try to take the longer path, or get up to change the channel instead of the remote control. Little things can add up. I hope you reach your goal! Hugs!
That's great news!! Congratulations!! I'm glad to hear you're doing well!! *HUGS*
It's been a while so I thought I'd stop by and see how you're doing! *HUGS*

My mother died of heart failure while on dialysis at 44; just one of the complications w/ her Diabetes Type 1. So it's scary to be dealing with Type 2 problems at 48!
This is a new diagnosis for me, although I had long suspected it, other medical problems took precedence for a long time. I really know nothing, except some symptoms and that it is common with us fibro sufferers, about this illness.
I've had fibro for 9 years now. Hard to believe it's been that long since I could hold down a simple 40 hour a week job! It took SSI 7 years, almost to the day, to wake up and realize the extent of my pain and fatigue. Actually, they decided my back problems were disabling and ignored the fibro, just so you know.
Asthma has been in my life since I was 19, so nearly 30 years now. The one good thing is that I've learned not to panic in a bad attack. On the other hand, nothing seems to completely control my coughing and wheezing.
I've had eczema since I was 14. Over the last year it has receded from my left shoulder and up off my neck, so that mostly it is only around and in my ears, w/ a little bit left in under the hair on the neck. No idea why, except that I have been eating much more heathily.
I have been overweight most of my life, I like to joke that they fattened me up to send me home, because I was a preemie and I never had a chance after that. The most weight I ever lost was 60 lbs. and that was on SlimFast & Sego. Do they even make Sego anymore? With some medical challenges the past 6 months I am now at my highest weight ever! My diabetic educator has told me that I should not go back on the only diet that I ever lost on besides sugar-filled meal replacements, Atkins.
I struggled for about 5 years before I accepted that I was a lesbian. I feared that God would desert me; instead He began to guide me to Christian GLBT resources. I am now in a strong and secure, if a bit unorthodox, relationship.
I've had osteoarthritis probably since my 20's. When a back injury at work sent me to a back doctor, the test results showed I already had arthritis in my neck. Now that some of my fibro pain is under conrol, the pain in my back feels pretty bad!
