About Me
I have lived with chronic illess for 20 years. Some good years, some bad. Seem to get into trouble when I try something new to help myself. Loooking forward to a better year. Last year contained surgery, the death of my Mother, and being flooded out of my house and moving into a beautiful duplex in a questionable neighborhood. I have major problems with my hands so keying is a problem. I want to explain my screen name. I saw this on someone else's signature: I'ma skeered, new moons coming, and I've gotta get a chicken. I'm not really skeered, more like weary.
Interests
Will always love the companionship of my cat, Kee. Spend time with flowers, books, internet, and spending too much money on Amazon for books. I have twin sons that are 40 and 2 grandchildren that are almost adults now. They all live too far away. I sponsor a young man in Sierre Leone and correspond with him and his family. Would love to meet them all someday.

Hugbook
I’m With You
Hope your doing OK!
Hug
A special Hug; We are all cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. (Ray Bradbury) We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lost sight of the reason for the journey, or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way. (Gloria Gaither). The only causes of regret are laziness, outbursts of temper, hurting others, prejudice, jealousy, and envy. (Germaine Greer) Dónal: PS: Feeling pretty rough just now – so here is hoping for tomorrow.

Prayer
Hi Friend; A small prayer from Ireland: God our Father, you sent Saint Patrick to preach your glory to the people of Ireland. By the help of his prayers, may all Christians proclaim your love to all men. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. God Bless; Dónal:
Hug

Close Fibromyalgia
celebrating 19 years of fibromyalgia. recently exploring new avenues of research and treatment. lots of new thoughts and treatments. looking forward to reading more...
Treatments
- Acupressure Working / Worked
- I go to a wonderful chiropractor who is a wizard at body work in general. Doesn't take Medicare but only charges $30. Thompson method is what he was trained in.
- Acupuncture Not Working
- Duragesic Patch Working / Worked
- Allergic to adhesive!
- Lyrica Working / Worked
- Just started - don't know.
- Trileptal Working / Worked
- Ultram Working / Worked
- Doesn't work.
- Clonazepam Working / Worked
- Works. Takes the edge off the neuropathy. Also, makes me stupid - stupider. LOL
Close Sjogren's Syndrome
I was diagnosed with Sjogren's 2 years ago. My eyeballs are a problem and my mouth became a problem 8 weeks ago. Neurologist suggested a lip biopsy. OOOOh, no. It feels like I just cut a scotch bonnet pepper in two and smeared it all over my lips and tongue. Very annoying. Rheumatologist recommended Evozac - haven't filled the script yet. So many side effects. Tried Restasis for a year but had in punctal plugs (the literature for Restasis says not to use both at the same time).
Treatments
- Restasis Working / Worked
- Restasis hurts my eyeballs. Haven't tried the Evoxac yet. Bothered with dry throat around wind pipe, use oxygen with humidifier. No miracles.
Open Lyme Disease
In 1988, I had a bull's eye mark on the back of my leg. I was tested, it was negative and that was the end of that. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, because I was sick with something, and I have been mistreated for that diagnosis for all these years. Not only the insulting attitudes, but just bad medicine (last year it was anti-seizure meds, quick way to empty your wallet). Currently I am using fentanyl for pain. Need doctor in AR area to test and treat. Help!
