Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Welcome Darlene - This is a great group for caring and support. Sorry to hear about all your difficulties, but you are definitely not alone here. Many are in similar situations. Take care. Jeanne in WI > Hello everyone! I figured that even though I haven't been formally dx'd > yet, I'd go ahead and introduce myself! I'm 44, married for the last time > (which obviously indicates previous ones, huh?) and DH and I adopted a set > of fraternal twins (age 8) who are special needs last year. I have 2 grown sons who live outside the home (24 & 22 respectively); one is military, the other college/working. I also have 2 grandkids and 2 stepgrands as soon as they get married (actually, then I'll have 4 grands, the heck with that step-crap!). > > Anyhow, I have been on medical long-term disability since March 07 (went > out on STD December 06 with bronchitis). After repeated attempts to get > rid of the bronchitis failed, I was sent to a pulmonologist (the same one > who dx'd me with sleep apnea 2 yrs earlier). Over the past year, I have > added a few more chronic things to my life, such as asthma, allergies, anxiety, Type 2 diabetes, chronic mono and chronic bronchitis. I also live with hypothyroidism, metabolic disorder, and glucose intolerance, IBS and diverticulitis. In short, over the past 4 years, I've become a physical wreck!
