Hi my name is and I am a new member. In the subject line I listed just

some of my illnesses and pray every day someone finds a cure, because I want my

life back. Every year gets worse and I can do less. I just got divorced in

January after 25 years (my ex was tired of me being sick and it being all about

me). Didn't get real sick till 2005 when I came down with the worst case of the

flu. After 2 years of doctors and expensive tests, they finally found out what

was wrong, but once again, " We have no cure " , just take a pill. I take 15 pills

a day. Thanks to the judge I have to pay for my own insurance ($500 a month)

plus my meds and doctor's co-pays, rent in an apartment (just sold our house

after 16 years), lost all my friends and neighbors, and divorce is so depressing

you don't want to get out of bed. It's taken 2 years in court and it's not over

yet.He had numerous affairs and told me I had an affair (just 1 he admitted to)

and said " I don't want a divorce, but I'm keeping my girlfriend " . I told him to

pack his bags.

I see so many different specialists, but nothing makes me better. I just wish I

could go back in time and have my old life back and have the strength to do

things, but now I get so tired. Yes mornings are the worst. It takes me hours to

get moving (even take Provigil for obstructive sleep apnea) and that doesn't

really help any more. Thank you for letting me participate in your group.
