Me Again

[Guest guest]

Everyone,

Thank you for your help in switching from Yahoo to Outlook Express.

Your instructions were simple and everything is working fine.

To tell you a little about myself. I am a 66 year old woman. California born and raised here - married an Ohio man and converted him to a want-a-be Californian. I feel it is the best state in the union. Married for 44 years, 2 daughters, 4 grandchildren (3 boys – 1 girl). Retired from my own gift shop business 9 years ago. Use to travel and have been to England, Canada, Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, but my very best favorite was Africa. If you are an animal lover like me there is nothing better than seeing animals in their habitat doing things that come natural to them. Absolutely amazing. Wish I could do it again.

I have pulmonary fibrosis, lupus, congestive heart failure, diabetes, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, am overweight, been on prednisone for 7 years, have never felt well my whole life and then diagnosed with all of this a little over 7 years ago. I am on liquid oxygen 4L 24/7. The slightest activity leaves me breathless and I’m so tired not to mention the pain, it is unbearable at times. I also have high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. I am on 4 tablets 500 ea. of Cellcept, 20 units of Predisone for my “absolutely horrible disease”.

Every time I try to go down on the Predisone my body reacts with such pain that Morphine doesn’t control. So I’m kind of resigned to being on the Predisone. Have more bad days then good. Using more oxygen when I’m active. Went out to dinner tonight left at 4:00 on my portable liquid oxygen tank, came back at 9:00 and used 1-¾ tanks.

I have plenty of questions and will be popping in to address them. Just wanted to give you a little background on little old me.

Thanks for listening,

Jodee
