Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Dear Terri, Welcome, you will find lots of friends here. You have had life much worse than I have but we welcome all no matter how sick or not. I am age 46, I am married to age 48, he is overweight and has high bp and cholesterol but is otherwise healthy. I have a long list of ailments, I will write some of them I can remember. My main problem is fibromylagia. I also have asthma, chronic sinusitis and allergies. For those of you who were wondering, my test for cystic fibrosis came back and I don't have CF. I also have gastro reflux, IBS, high bp, high cholesterol, low thyroid, probably diabetes, overweight, insomnia, sleep apnea--I sleep w.c-pap, I can't think of what else except anxiety & depression. I have two great kids, Nick is 24 and healthy, he is a college grad and wants to go on to pharmacy school. He is now working full-time as a pharmacy tech and is applying to pharm schools. is 22 and has cystic fibrosis, asthma, gerd, and chronic sinusitis. She is doing very well and is in college full time majoring in Mechanical Engineering. That is what my husband does for work. Next fall she wants to transfer to Cal Poly Pomona where Nick went to finish her degree. I know what you mean about your friends but if they are or were true friends they will overlook your illness and remain your friend. and I recently started attending church again and we really like it. We have already made a lot of new friends. I feel at home there. I am a strong Christian, not one of those conservative Jerry Fallwell types though. I am a liberal Christian. oh btw I am on morphine too but its just a pill. love and hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Dear Terri, Welcome to the list. You certainly have been dealt a difficult hand to play, but it sounds like you are coping the best you can. The people on this list will definitely understand anything that you go through. Someone here will have gone through it or something similar. Those who haven't experienced what you have will still understand because we have all battled something terrible to end up here. I hope you enjoy the list !!!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 WELCOME ;TO THE GROUP; IM GLAD YOU FOUND US; LOTS OF GREAT & CARING FOLKS IN THIS GROUP;; ALSO LOTS OF INFO GIVEN HUGS DORT FROM MICH,U.S.A. From: teksheplace <teksheplace@...>Subject: New Member saying hello Date: Monday, March 30, 2009, 12:49 AM Hi there. I am thankful to have a place to check in with others who are experiencing life with illness. I have Rheumatoid arthritis and have recently began treatment with methotrexate. And now I have developed a case of shingles. I am single with grown children, have a great job and feeling sick just doesn't seem to fit with my previously active lifestyle. While I know things could be much worse - I suffer with depression and see my future through a negative lens. My "well -days" are wonderful and I accomplish a great deal - but the sick ones are not so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
