MARCY, AGAIN, WELCOME TO THIS WONDERFUL AND WACKY GROUP. THEY ARE A

LIFE SAVER TO ME AND HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY. IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE YOU

HAVE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK WITH LOTS OF HORRIBLE THINGS HAPPENING TO

YOU. I AM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAD AND LOSING HIM. KEEP IN TOUCH.

CINDY

> Hi Sharon - Just call me Marcy. Thanks to you and all who have welcomed me

into the group. The number of postings is hard to keep up with and probably will

be until I catch the thread of all the conversations. Am enjoying trying to

figure out what's going on though. That'll take your mind off what's ailin ya

for sure!

> Maybe it would be appropriate to give you all a bit of background information

on me although I really don't want to bore anyone.

> As far as CFIDS: Most likely about the same as most of you. Been sick about 5

years. Been diagnosed a little over 3. Have lots of joint and muscle aches. Also

have migrain headaches - some severe with my sight leaving - then severe pain -

usually have to go to doc or hospital for shots which I hate. Usually lose about

3 days per episode. Depression hits on and off - just aiming for more good days

than bad like us all. Not able to work right now (bummer) but keep hope that

I'll get well enough to get back in the game. Prior to getting sick I had a

printing business for about 10 yrs. Got really sick when a fire to the bldg.

next to mine burned / when they demolished the bldg next to mine they caused

structural damage to mine / my bldg. condemned (did I say I lived there at the

time) / had insurance - both parties insured by same co. / ins. co. denied my

claim / caused big lawsuit / lost bldg. / lost lawsuit / lost most of business /

almost lost mind / lost health. That's the really short version.

> Into the edge of about 3 yrs of fighting for my bricks, my dad (89) (who

adopted me - what a hero) became ill. He'd never ever even been sick. Went

through about 2 yrs of a horrible battle for him. Maybe I saw too much or just

on top of everything else it was too much. Anyway, we lost him right before

Christmas a year ago. The Grief for me has been overwhelming. I miss him so much

but I'm doing better now - just have it hit on occassion now. Seems like I woke

up from a bad dream to find my emotions & health somewhat messed up. So I'm

working on it!!!

> As for daily stuff - I live in a zoo!!!! Really! Husband, 2 boys (they're

great - 13, 16), 4 dogs, 5 cats, 1 bird, 2 horses and looking hard for the

partridge in the pear tree! Used to have salt water and fresh water tanks too

but too much to maintain. Miss them though. Mostly, I use humor to survive.

>

> OH DEAR - I JUST REMEMBERED TO USE CAPS - SORRY FOR ABOVE - TRY TO REMEMBER

FROM NOW ON.

>

> THANKS TO ALL WHO WELCOMED ME. IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO CAN

TRULY RELATE TO WHAT YOU GO THROUGH WITH THIS DD!!!!!!!

>

> I'LL BE LURKING TRYING TO GET INTO THE SWING OF THINGS ........ MEANWHILE,

PRAYERS FOR ALL WHO ARE HAVING A ROUGH GO AND HOPEFULLY I'LL BE ABLE TO

CONTRIBUTE FROM TIME TO TIME.

Hi Joyce .

I live in Florida .. believe me ..

I dont think it would make a difference ..

in Florida during the summer time (from April to November) ..

we have rain just about every day ..

its raining now .. and my joints are killing me!

Oh ..

emails .. if you send emails to LUPIES-owner

just the owners will see the message..

if you want the whole group to see and to be able to reply to your message

then you need to use LUPIESegroups

smiles.. but at least in Florida .. we dont have snow!

Yesterday, I was

in such pain, it was probably the rain. I feel better today, because

it is sunny, thinking of moving to florida, do you think it would help?

Love, Joyce

Leanne, I am glad you are feeling better and the Levaquin is working for you. Whenever my chest feels tight, I use my neubulizer and it really helps. I don't always use it on a regular basis but only if I need it. It helps to expectorate!

Toodles!

Hi Leanne, I can't keep up with all the messages on my email. Leave me connected but do not send any more email. Thanks Grey

hello

Hi everybody,

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm back at work today. Probably not for a full day but I was going stir crazy at home..... All that laying around and thinking.... I'm pretty lucky because I've never run a fever and the only major complaint I have is that my chest is so tight. It's harder to breathe. I think I headed it off at the pass with the Levaquin. My daughter who is 21 also got sick and she's been running a fever over 102 for three days. She doesn't live with me which is a good and bad thing. I want to take care of her, but I wouldn't have been able to.....

I love you all and I agree with Joyce, we have to live each day to its fullest. Each day is a gift from God. Find the beauty. It's there somewhere!! Today is a cold day in Chicago but the sun is shining brightly. I'm thankful to be alive and I'm thankful for this wonderful group of caring, compassionate, personality-plus, loving people!!

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
