Guest guest Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 Moe, I was so interested inthe first email about the quiz I wrote you before looking further down to find more info you posted on PTLS. Thanks again for posting this.....This does clear up some myths about Drs. telling us it is on our mind.....If I had a dollar for everytime a Dr told me my symptoms were in my head I would have enough money to pay for my TR with money left. I use to get so mad at Drs for telling me that when I KNEW something was wrong......I just could not for the life of me figure out why they couldn't find out what was wrong with me. I have lost a lot of sleep also worrying about whether it was in my mind and whether or not I was losing my mind! I use to cry a whole lot because of what Drs said. My family would tell me .......You heard what the Dr said ...now quit whining and get you SH..T together. That would only upset me more cause at times I was so sick I could not work. I even tried to sign up for disability at one time and what do you think happened? I tried signing up for SSI! I even tried to draw on my unemployment once and because the last job I had I was too slow and stayed so sick and had to be off when I was on my periods....I quit it so I would not bogged the company down any.....I was not eligble for unemployement cause I quit that job.....however I talked to the boss and explained the situation to him and we both together agreed it would be best to let me go! All my Dr reports showed my symptoms were physological.....Jesus.....how can a person change those reports! I have been and I am still angry at a society and a country (usa) who will not take care of their own...yet cant wait to get to get into foreign countries affairs! We live in a dog eat dog world........with greed as motivation, in our case trapped in this so called physiclogical " Its in the mind " problem, us a human beings being the main course for this dod eat dog world! And it dont quit at that ....its in all areas of our life......The President talks about the foreign people and how bad some of them are..........He cant talk to much about others in other countries until he cleans up his back porch...... we have people in the United States in all areas that are just as bad as this Sadamm Hausen (Spelling). We live in a hidden dictatorship..........and...........I think the president knows this! Wanda On Sat, 7 Sep 2002 12:17:21 -0500 " moe " writes: > Ok, there has been alot of talk of PTLS.
