    Give Jeans16 a hug

    • Hug

      From Ali5tair May 16

      Jeans16 I cut and pasted this same responce and sent it as a hug to you so I could ask you to be my friend . Cheers Al I'm in exactly the same boat Jeans16. I lost my ability to work 18 months ago after trying to continue to work for 3 years. (25 years of work down the tubes). I spend much of my day online researching ME/CFS, Toxins and here at DS wiyh all my friends. When the kids come home from school I look after them. Recently I have realised I have to be more disiplined with how much time I spend on DS. I was staying up late, very late 2 AM,3AM etc I've a chest cold now as a result of my pushing myself and the pain is through the roof. Silly me. As for social connection I go to church only when I have the streagth. The real big find this year is a Chronic Disease mens Support Group that has been formed here in my local town. Once a month I meet wit other sufferers and form close bonds through our similar journeys. Via church I have meet people with similar interests as I have. I'm also married so I have the companionship of a very loving and very understanding wife aswell as the love and activity that is involved with raising/looking after our four children. (Very busy house I do what I can). Do you have a Womens health support group in your neighbourhood? Do you do crosstitch, quilting, play batgammon, chess, listen to music together, go to the movies with someone, have dinner with someone, play on line video games in the same room with someone. I spent 10 years praying that I would meat a soul mate and not feel like I was left on the shelf. One day BAM out of the blue she turned up. Most of my friends through life are overseas or interstate now so I just have to keep on rolling with the tide. Cheers Ali5tair
