I'm new.

I have been completely disabled with CFIDS - Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome for the past twelve years. Since the death of my husband five plus years ago has caused me to become overwhelmed with everything I am now faced with trying to take care of alone. The biggest part is trying to complete repair work on our 60 year old home to keep it from falling apart. Just no one wants to help is all. I'm worn out anymore. I like the idea of a support group like this one.

    Hello,
    Sorry to hear about your loss, I have joined this group but have not posted in awhile because have been busy with the grief site, so haven't put forth muc effort here, that being said I have loss 7 lbs. by just changing to diet coke(which I hate, but getting use to) and started walking with this girl that I work with, we haven't been on walks for a few weeks now because we both haven't had the time or it's been raining. I do have a exercise bike at home that I do need to get motivated to get on, why? I just don't know. Wish I come help you with repair work I am no good at it but my boyfriend is a real geneis when it come to repairs. Well better quit the rambling here. If you would like to add me as your friend that would be nice. Take care

    With Love
    Cindy

    Welcome. I am battling having gained a lot of weight from both illness and injury. So far I have lost about 175 pounds in total since the middle of last year. It can be done. It is easier when we have encouragement. We are all here for you.
    HUGS!

    Well, maybe you need to send a message to Habitat for Humanity or solicit attention from a local church.

    Hope and a solid foundation is elusive to a lot of people these days. Every one I talk to seems to be on shakey ground. It is very disconcerting to have everything in life changed and not for the better.

Welcome
