New Members & Tawny

[Guest guest]

Welcome to Lynn, Elena & . You will find a lot of support here

with this group - they are all wonderful. Lynn & Elena, I admire your

determination to do what you can to help your hubby's. I pray that

you all get an answer to what ails them and that they will be in

remission and feeling better soon.

Tawny, I pray you are feeling better soon, too and the doctors get to

the bottom of what is going on with you. I know what you mean about

this shortness of breath - it seems no matter what I do, I get winded.

I've mentioned it before to my doctors and they all keep going back to

my weight. I know I need to lose some, but they just don't seem to

understand that its these out of control health issues that came

before and are causing the weight issue. Washing my hair and showering

in general are a chore for me, too. I have to rest after my shower

before I can dry my hair and by the time I am done with all of that, I

am sweating up a storm and feeling dirty again, but also exhausted.

Its all so hard...............Doreen
