I joined this community because I am hoping to meet others who have some of the same problems that I do. Maybe I can learn some new coping strategies. I have worked all my life until 11 years ago when I had to quit. I am married (for the second time) and have one adult daughter and three grandchildren. I also have two toy poodles who I love to death. When I worked I was an administrative supervisor and did quite a bit of volunteer work. I was active in my church and had some good friends. I have always been easy going and love to laugh. I try to be kind to people and adore animals. On the negative side, I am overly sensitive and insecure. All in all I've had a good life. That life ended 11 years ago when I started having symptoms from cirrhosis of the liver from Hepatitis C, degenerative disk disease, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, osteoarthritis, depression and anxiety. I've come to rely on drugs and stay in bed most of the time. So I am looking for a way out.
I've always loved to read, go for long drives, try new restaurants, go to museams, meditate and go to festivals. I give a lot of attention to my pets and am interested in different religions.

Well, I had my appt with the anesthesiologist since they are going to have to put me to sleep to do the endoscopy. They tried to do it with …
Not really, alot of hectic issues going on with my son and my husband. Plus, it did not help that I sprained my left foot in dance class about 1 month ago. I sprained it, bruised all the bones in my foot and fractured the 3,4, and 5th toe bones, on crutches for 2 weeks, a walking boot for 2 weeks, finally in a regular tennis shoe, but still cannot dance for 3 more weeks. So, needless to say, it has not been good. My husband was great to me while I was out of commission. But now, he's BACK to all of his dirty A&& tricks. It makes me mad. My son plays the computer all the time, and I hardly get to get on the computer, it makes me mad. He's had some real issues. He has met this girl online, she lives in Alaska, well, he is in love with her and wants to go visit her in June, well HELLO!!!!! We don't even know these people. So, I don't know what we are going to do. I am hoping they will just decide to be friends instead of boyfriend, girlfriend. Ridiculous, PUPPY LOVE, those hormones - UGH!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for writing me back....I'm kinda glad the hot weather is gone, but I am not really crazy for cold, and he wants me to go to Alaska. Take care

I'm 51 yo woman, married for the second time and live with my husband and two toy poodles. I have an adult daughter and three grandkids who I adore. I've struggled with depression and anxiety my entire life. I'm on disability due to cirrhosis of the liver, fibromyalgia and chronic pain conditions.
I'm Donna and have had fibromyalgia for around 11 years. I came down with these symptoms around the same time I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. I never knew that this condition could be so painful! I'm hoping to meet others who have found a way to cope.
I've had Hep C for over 30 years according to the state of my liver. I have cirrhosis now.
I've had problems with anxiety even as a little girl. I've struggled with it my whole life.
I've had cirrhosis from Hepatitis C for about 9 years now. I've the Hep C for over 30 years. I'm very symptamatic and always so tired and can't concentrate, The amonia buildup occurs pretty frequently.
I am prescribed Oxycodone, Soma, Opana and Ambien for valid medical reasons. But I am taking them too much and run out of them weeks before it's time. So 1-2 weeks I'm zoned out and the other 1-2 weeks I'm in so much painl. I feel so embarrassed and stupid by this. I am a 51 year old woman and know much better than this. I want to quit this.
I just eat all the time even when I'm not hungry. I will eat until my stomach hurts and even then I keep stuffing myself. I feel so ashamed.
I'm married but we have not had sex since the first year of our marriage which was 17 years ago.
I am horrible around groups of people. I get so nervous. I don't know what to say. I stammer and stutter. I'm so nervous that others think I'm very weird.
