Hello All,

It's good to see so many new faces!! I've been sorta out of the loop for

awhile d/t a very bad chest cold which of course went to my sinus's. It's been

a very " snotty " past 2 weeks

I also had a bomb shell drop on me in regards to my Daughter. In the midst

of my cold, decides to announce to the family that she's Bulimic!! I

think I've been in shock since last Thursday evening. For those of you who

know me, know that I have had one disaster after another and this just is the

straw to break the camel's back. No one ever better tell me that stress

doesn't affect RLS because I'll call them a liar to their cyber face!! My very

beautiful daughter is going through such a Hell for only being 16 yrs old and

I hate it-I just want to shrink her back to the days where I could protect her

from all the outside BS. But I can't and I have to deal with this although I'm

emotionally numb. I was saying that I was going to be starting a Pain Support

group and also counseling so that I could deal with all the emotions that go

along with chronic pain, but that will have to wait. My daughter comes first

and I can't afford 2 co-pays at the same time. She had her first counseling

sesion yesterday and she seems to like the Therapist who is a specialist in

Eating Disorders. I liked her too-first impressions are important, also her

" vibes " were good. Ya know how you can get a sense of a person by their

" vibes " ? I don't know if vibes is the correct word, but you know what I mean.

I told God that this was too much and that He's going to have to do this one

because I'm about to loose my mind!! It's not like the other issues have

resolved themselves and as I said this on top of everything is too much!

This coming Tuesday, I'm going to be having a procedure where Lidocaine

mixed with a steroid (cortisone ?) will be injected into the area of my hip

where the pain is. Wouldn't that be great if this works?! I'm not going to get

my hopes up though because I don't think I could tolerate another let down.

The Dr.in Boston said that he couldn't do any more for me-I didn't tell the

group because I was still too upset. His office is on the 12th floor and by

the time I got down to the bottom, I was in total tears. I just sat at the

bottom level in the hall way and just balled my eyes out, then I went back to

the train station and went home.

So that's been my last 2 weeks, basically. By the way, I finally found Jill's

Tension Tamer Tea and had it sitting around for awhile, because I was afraid

of the taste ! So I asked Jill how she drank it- anyway, with this chest

cold that I had that Tea was a life saver_really!! I used honey in my tea,

only one tea bag seeping for 5 min removed bag and added a tablespoon of honey

and Voila-exellent tea for a chest cold. I still haven't tried it for it's

intended purpose yet But any of you who are shy of trying it, don't be-it's

good!

Well back to these e-mails, I have to use my time wisely-

le R.I.
