I’m just not in a good place right now. My body image is horrible. My overall view of myself really is horrible. I feel like I need to reach out and tell the truth. I put on my happy face/ voice for everyone but the truth is I’m really not doing that great. But I hate writing this and don’t even know if I’ll post it honestly. I feel so worthless, a waist of time. I don&rsq...

Hmmmmm......coping mechanisms seem askew today. A few minor things /inconveniences this morning seems to have set me off base? Part of me knows my brain is malfunctioning and misfiring but part of me just wants to curl up in a ball and hide. hmmmphfff..... that's so not me!! A few postings made by one member today that upset a few. I think she meant to be helpful and not harmful. Oh well... I...1 Recommendation2 Comments

At 6:30 am I feel great! Who would like to bet me that about 10:00 am I will be raging again??? That's 2 hours after the last dose of 30 mg and the end of my first five days of weaning off the steroid rage pills.2 Recommendations2 Comments

I have'nt been much for talking lately. My life is a mess right now but I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm anxious as hell all the time. My eyes are bothering me 24/7, I look high (00). I was addicted to red out until my opthalmologist informed me I needed a lubricant, he is a good Doc. He gave me a sample bottle of santyl and I'm in heaven, what a relief. He sent me to th...1 Recommendation2 Comments

My life is just a series of constant pain and awful experiences.
Saturday was a nightmare just like my life.
I got a call that dialysis was cancelled due to a power outage. So I decided to take a ride on the scooter to the park. I was getting into an interesting book when dialysis called and said the power was fixed. So my Dad had to leave Chicago where he was getting his car fixe...1 Recommendation3 Comments -
I have been suffering with my diagnosis of Graves Disease for about a month now. I still have not been able to start any meds and i am tired of feeling bad. When I was diagnosed a CT scan was done and I was injected with iodine. Now, my primary DR wants a thyroid scan done, and this can't be done until the iodine levels in my system drop. I was told this taked about 6 ...1 Recommendation6 Comments

It is damp and rainy here. I am very depressed. Honestly I think I have that disorder where you need sunshine-Seasonal Affect Disorder.
Plus having much pain in my hands and knees.
Really I am not looking forward to the upcoming winter.
I will miss the sunshine.
Also it will be difficult getting around. My mobility scooter is the light weight model and not really very stable.&n...1 Recommendation4 Comments -
It always seem that my life is just a series of constant battles.
Now it looks like they determined that I did not cash the check. However, they can not find who did. When I get the check back I will have to give it back to my insurance company. Then I can have the bill forgiven. I think. I asked for the name of the contact person so there is no problem.
Of course she did no...1 Recommendation4 Comments -
