Macular degeneration is a medical condition where the light sensing cells in the macula malfunction and over time cease to work. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology,...
What is the worse thing you can tell someone who has a degenerative, progressive disease which leads to deafness? Think about that for one second. What? That they have a progressive degenerative disease which will lead to blindness. Yes! You're correct! So when I went to the optician today I really wasn't expecting my worsening vision to need anything more than a stronger prescription. Wr...
I feel awful. This bronchitis/pneumonia is taking quite a toll I don't need right now. Breathing is labored. Taking meds as necessary. Head and chest feel like they’re about to explode. My throat is raw. With all due respect to those who are truly suffering in this world and website, I would like to request prayers for a quick recovery. Thanks!! Love you all dearly, kate
AAAAAAGH!!!! So, we wrote to Dan's school asking someone to PLEASE send him some work home as he's been off sick since December 18th. We just wanted some work sent home ffs! So what happens? I get a phone-call from an assistant head who defensively asks for a Dr's letter (ANOTHER ONE? HOW MANY TIMES DO WE NEED TO PROVE THAT DAN'S ILL!!!!!) and he follows this up by saying we ...
Not much improvement since yesterday. I did sleep pretty well last night so I do feel a little more awake today. Still very shaky. Heart so far is not pounding quite as much. Headache is worse. Having stomach problems, however. No desire to eat this morning yet. Today is supposed to be the worst day of the three, so I don’t quite know what else is in store to come. Thanks for all your pray...
I accidentally stopped taking one of my major medicines (Neurontin) a week ago yesterday. Two days ago I began going through withdrawal symptoms, unbeknownst to me at the time. Yesterday is when I realized that I had stopped taking the medicine and the symptoms began to get worse. This morning at 4:20 I called the national poison control center and talked to a wonderful and helpful woman who TO...

I'm so puzzled by this new member who says he's a 16 yr old boy and has no respect or manners. To such an extent he's used his profile to diss me and my mates, accused me in PM of being a child-abuser, criticised my parenting, then uses every discussion post he can to further attack me and DS. I caught him out on a lie and he went mad, so I suspect he's someone else all together t...
I keep pinching myself. Mike has been made redundant. His team are going to walk out in protest, but it still means he has no job. Shit on a stick people. You couldn't make it up.
Bollocks. I forgot a meeting at Jonny's school this afternoon. I mean completely forgot it. I only wrote it in my diary yesterfuckingday. I'm supposed to be going to Ben's parents' evening tonight, but I can't face it. My head's pounding, sore throat, fucking knackered. A while back I used to think I'd never reach a point of completion, that there was always some way I...
I am going blind. It pisses me off! Some wanker posts a discussion whether vampires exist and gets twice the number of responses. I mean, for FUCK'S SAKE! Have I not always been here for others? Are there not OT categories? I know I will regret his tomorrow, but I can always delete it. Give ME some attention! I am a musician, a writer, a counsellor, a parent, a seamstress!! I can't d...
