Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 Cathy, Sorry to hear things are so rough for you right now. I'm glad you vented hear. Venting is a very necessary part of coping. Out of curiousity, have you tried an anti-depressant? Not for the pain, but for your depression? My outlook was changed immensely by Zoloft. It's still hard, but all of my energy isn't taken up with just trying to cope, and not be angry and upset. Could you make the dool's clothes just for yourself, for your own dolls? I always get a sense of accomplishment from something well done, whether it garners appreciation from others or not. I know you also need the extra income it would bring, but don't give up yet. If the clothes have only been up on the net a week or so, they might just need more time. And who says you have to be younger, or thinner, or healthier to find that perfect someone? Don't buy into the social stereotype that only model type women find good men. Not true. Also, maybe your Fibro will be what brings you and your future someone together. Maybe he'll be your next doctor. Who knows? Don't give up hope though. It's tiring to keep trying new meds, hell it's tiring just having this syndrome, but keep trying others. One might actually help you. Have you tried natural supplements? Take care, and make sure you keep venting when necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 Cathy, We all know how you feel. I am sorry that you haven't been able to do the things that you love. I have been in your shoes before. I get there now sometimes. I read Dr. Crook's book, The Yeast Connection and it has helped me tremendously. Go to your bookstore and look at it and take the little quiz in the book. I took the little quiz and I scored so high that it was scary. I also take Syn-Flex for my joints. If you would like more info just e-mail me privately and I would be glad to help. Keep your chin up. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Anyone can e-mail me privatel if they want to. Have a great day Cathy, Lonnie in Soonerland ===== ABOUT ME! http://www.geocities.com/loontoon4/to_hell_and_back http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ArthritisNewsletter __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
