Re: Anemia of Chronic Disease

I hear ya, sister - I hope you don't develop any of that either!

My Mom and Dad didn't develop all their diseases till they were in their late 60's - my Dad died when he was 72 and Mom died when she was 79. So I'm hopeful! (grins).

My family has a history of heart disease (father had 2 bypasses and died at 54), diabetes, RA runs wild on my mom's side. She had RA/OA, cancer, porphyria (she died at 51) ...so far I only have RA.

Heart disease and adult onset diabetes are on both sides of my family too, so I know how you feel! I'm hoping that with this drastic change in my lifestyle, I'll avoid most if not all of that (smiles)

Yes, I definitely want to be friends - that's part of why I came to this board. I think discussion is good, but I'm totally opposite on the use of sarcasm. All it does is make people feel defensive and hurt and embarrassed (I think we saw that in the posts here). And whenever someone feels that way, it's kind of hard to have a good talk with them (gentle eyes).

Hey, thanks for clarifying that verse for me - I appreciate it

I take umbrage to being called a cynic, Markins, darling, that is unless you meant to say Cynic, in which case

I thank you.

I am definitely not a cynic, as I like to focus on the positive and helpful, in language as well as in life. I’ve been

a member of this group for quite some time and use my delete button when necessary.

However, when it comes to judging a person by their looks and touting a belief that implies that freedom from

disease is simply about changing your personality, I will say something.

We can be friends kins. That is, if you want to be mine.

I will ALWAYS do what I can to make sure folks get a fair shake. No fair shake in generalizations. Nope. None at all.

What was trying to do was done, I think.

I’ve been to her site. She’s worked hard on it and made it available for all.

And if she wasn’t trying to say the things that she did say, she is very well capable of clarifying it, just like she did.

Language (word use as well as intended meaning)and the free exchange of ideas leads to everyday interaction and policy.

I don’t propose to make enemies. I think discussion is good for us all and sarcasm is a perfectly reasonable tool of rhetoric.

‘Woe unto him that believeth a lie’ is from the book of Revelation… allusion to the great deception, the three woes… etc. If you like action adventure… but that’s for another group, now isn’t it?

Honestly, though, kins, if you read all my posts you’ll find no malice.

Love and peace to all

My husband's side of the family is the one with the heart problems. He had quadruple bypass last year at age 58. His dad died of a stroke at age 54 (hit a hole in one on the golf course and dropped dead). His younger brother is dying of congestive heart failure and one of his younger sisters is having heart problems as well. My husband doesn't smoke or drink, so it was easy for the doctor to tell him he was doomed by genetics because of his lifestyle and his siblings.

My dad was driving and had pulled over to the side of the road and died during the night...guess I'm glad he had the sense to pull over..how I don't know. his brother had died in his early 40's from heart disease after bypass. He was a prosecutor and died during a court session. Guess you never know when it's your time.
