We have missed you both.......but I know how you could feel that way. I have

felt that way a couple times, too. When I was in a crisis mode over my fibro a

couple of weeks ago, no one really responded. I just think everyone is so

overwhelmed with their own issues and keeping up on here is difficult. I come

on here when I'm not feeling well since i have a lap top and can curl up in my

bed. But, many people have to sit in front of their computer....I know I can't

even do that for 5 minutes.

Angie, I'm terribly sorry about your friend. Please take really, really good

care of yourself! An emotional devastation like that can be really detrimental

to your fibro and Lupus. Please make sure your family understands this and

helps you and try to get into counseling. Maybe weekly massages too? And daily

bubble baths with a Hot Harley dude to feed you grapes? And please wash your

hands a lot and have everyone who walks thru your door wash thiers too (I don't

use anti-bacterial). It has made a huge difference in how often I get sick. I

didn't even get the flu this year and I always get it. And the hand sanitizer

in the car for after the germy stores...........I won't harp on this again, I

just worry about all of us when we get sick on top of everything else. Plus,

you are going to be extra vulnerable for sometime while you are dealing with

your grief. Hope you are getting well!!

Jeanne, Med changes just make fibro even harder to deal with so I understand and

am sorry. Is your increase in fatigue do to the meds or another flare? What

meds did you change? Do you think they will help you? Let us know what's going

on!

Missed You Both,

Jill

Re: Re: NOT that anyone has asked...../Angie

I care Angie, but I haven't been on much either. Dealing with med changes and

more fatigue crap, so I'm not online. Don't know that I've been missed either,

but that's life.

I'm sorry to hear you are sick and that you lost your friend. If he had Type I

diabetes, I know of others who've died in their 40's from this. I know it seems

like if he'd just had his feet amputated, he'd have lived longer, but maybe he

already hated his QOL. I don't know, I'm just guessing. Take care.

AND I had my SSD shrink eval today. I have a severe sinus infection AGAIN.

I've added Topomax to everything I take; plus Leviquin and some

codeine/vicodin cough syrup.

of those expendable persons. OK, truth is; a very, very close friend of mine

from high school passed away. He was a year younger than me and he had diabetes

really bad. They wanted to amputate his feet and he refused to let them. So he

died. So basically, he committed suicide. I guess I'm

having problems dealing with it. I'm both very distraught and angry. I'll be

going to L.A. next week for his memorial.

if anyone cared.
