Re: Diabetes & Fibro (was About had ENOUGH!!!!!)

[Guest guest]

I have diabetes and fibro. I am not happy that I know have to deal with two

things as well as polyarthritis, neuropathy and tinnitus. I had enough quite

a long time ago. But you cannot stop. My doctor gives me Adderal for

fatigue and energy. Without that I would not be able to do anything.

I have spent over three weeks sorting out boxes of books. I have lifted

loads of books and lots of cartons. It hurt and it hurts more now that I am

finished. But I got something done. I am happy with myself that I did what

needed to be done and did it without any help except for my husband making me

cartons. He wanted to help but it would have just made things go longer.

This was a challenge that I had with myself. I did it to know that I could

do normal things and work through the pain.

I am finished and I know have a room that is not piled with boxes of books.

I have my desk back. I am happy in this room. Next I am going to start

throwing out magazines that I am going to read but never do. All they do is

clutter up the house. I need some peace in my life and the clutter in this

room was not helping me.

I have plans for things that I want to do but I will do them a bit slower.

This had to be done by the first of July as I wanted the month of July to

rest in as I am leaving for London the end of July.

I am in constant pain. I am having a lot of trouble with my blood glucose

dropping and we are working on what we can do to stop that. As I said at the

beginning, I don't like any of this. I would like to see it go away. It is

not going to in the near future so I have to do those things that make me

happy and give me some peace. This room is mine. My sanctuary. It has my

favorite books on shelves. I got an early birthday present. Bookends that

are shaped like bookcases with colored books in it. A black cat is trying to

climb up to get at the mouse on the top shelf.

They are heavy suckers. If anyone tried to break in, I would hit him with

one of those and he would be out like a light. No one else might not like

them but I do and they are part of the happiness and peace that I have when

in this room.

Take care,

Irene

Books may well be the only true magic

goofed on the subject line.

Also, can you please tell us about 'Adderal'...what is it, any side

effects, etc.

Thanks,

Irene,

Isn't that sense of achievement wonderful? I'm so glad to hear you

got your " space " cleared out. Good for you. You've earned your rest,

that's for sure. Take care.

Irene~

I'm sorry your hurting and you having to deal with so much, but I am glad

that you got the things done that you needed to so you can relax. Traveling to

England sound like fun. A friend of mine met a gentleman from Birmingham and he

finally got his visa and will be moving here at the end of July. They are

planning a late September wedding. I'm glad she is so happy. seems like a

wonderful guy. I can't wait to meet him in person. Well, I hope you are feeling

good today and you are able to start resting up for your trip. Take care!!
