Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Eileen Don't give up on anything. Losing weight is a struggle we all deal with in different ways. Eat as healthy as you possible can-seems to be the doctors say if you eat healthy you have a better chance of helping your body. I was diagnosed in April 2006 with PF,Raynauds and Sjorgrens. I had to stop working in Oct 06, not because of my lung disease at that point, but my muscle disease. As it turned out I went on Oxygen at that time which I though was only going to be at night BUT it was permanent 24/7 for me also. I applied in April of 2008 after I had my stroke(my work disability ran out then) for SSI and by June I had my first check. We had written to our congressman and local politicians to help push it thru so we didn't lose our house ect. It did help even though we didn't know anyone. I thank God we wrote to them and they helped us. We are so young when diagnosed with this disease process and we all seem to fall thru the cracks. I was 49 then and didn't even feel like I was going to make my 50th! I did and have been trying to keep fighting ever since. So don't give up. Hang in there and ask lots of questoins. Good luck!
