About Me
I have been sick for more than 20 years. I do not blog about it and I feel lonely. Am on a new treatment the last two years and now am feeling much stronger and still lonely. Sleep studies showed I had sleep apnea and no deep sleep. My Dr. started me on XYREM , SODIUM OXYBATE, and I began to sleep deeply. The first day after I woke up I BEGAN to remember things from the radio, and books and life that I HADN't thought about for years. Then I began to tear down the morning gloryvines that were covering my windows! tHE light came in! Now I am on the road to recovery, a long slow journey . I have 4 children and 4 grand- children and a supportive husband and I thank G-D. Now I have to learn to live again. I am not the same person I was and may never be again. Loss of confidence in myself, depressive, anxious. Unfamiliar and unwanted feelings.
Interests
family, dog, yoga, books, health, of course, people, fun.

Your "eats" sound pretty good! I'm not real fond of yogurt, but if I mix a bunch of fruit in it, I would probably like it. Love that fruit!

I’m With You
I'm angry at myself too-- for not having the energy to 'get done' those things I wanted to. Don't you just hate when that happens?????
