Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi, my name is 39. single mother for 10 years of DD 18, DS 15, DD 6(Bonus baby, dated their dad once). My mates are 2 inside cats, 1 inside foxie cross dog, 1 hand raised cockatiel. I live in North Queensland, Australia. I was a hyperactive, unsick kid till 11, finally diagnosed at 14 with RA. Told at best i would be dead or worst totally crippled at 21. at 16 tried alternative treatments(upset doctor seeing witch doctors). Had success off & on over the years when I combined the 2. No remission since a tetnus needle 11 years ago. Not much support from family & friends over the years, less since single. Feel alone except for my mates, have a bright & happy attitude so no one knows around me that i am sick. Need to find a rheumy again Social Security want me to go back to work next year, when DD turns 7 & this body has changed again. Gave up work 6 years ago, gave up study last year. DD 6 has chromosome issues & needs a lot more help these days with school, 2 years at prep, we now are starting Grade 1 with special needs classes (finally diagnosed recently). I finally stopped trying to be normal & super woman since finding Flylady. Since being diagnosed I have never had anyone to talk to, none that had a clue how i felt. Thank you for letting me dump and for being such a supportive & happy group. It is so great to hear every one and know i'm not alone. May you all be happy and as healthy as possible.
