Well I have a new disease to get used to. I went out for two days (how exhausting can it be to push on a toggle to run an electric wheelchair?) and then slept for two days. Between the MS, the Fybro, and now the Addison's all are supposed to cause fatigue and that's what happened. I am worried about getting the tooth pulled because that is surgery in a way an...1 Recommendation7 Comments

Well I've turned into an expert sleeper. This morning the visiting nurse woke me up with a surprise visit - changing the foley which I have trying to get done through them since I left the hospital at the end of Sept.

I have never been so scared. What do we do? My oldest son who is 20 ...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

I've been down because the MG has been giving me a hard time, well lupus has reared its ugly head this morning because of yesterday's drama. My husband totalled my car. My car that I paid off. My car that I just loved, that I took very good care of is now gone. It was a 03 Dodge Neon and it can be fixed, but the damage outweighs the value. I know the insuranc...1 Recommendation4 Comments

N Korea
they sent a ship on it's way here to the island to fire a missile at us. although i know that we have the defense to bring it down out of the sky, i am PISSED at the Prez that he let it get this far. Kim Jong said that if anyone tries to stop him, he will take it as a declaration of war. in my opninion, just the fact that Kim Jong Il said that he INTENDS on bombing us and is sending a ...1 Recommendation8 Comments -
