pokymom's Journal

i am so bad about writting in my journal. i read everyone  of my friends then some, and try to keep up with hugs and messages, but am terrible about taking the time to write. things are going somewhat better. there are still days i have bad flares, and spend lots of time in bed, but knock on wood it has been a while.  my social security disability was finally approved after two turndowns, and a lawyer, but it has been worth the fight. i will get back pay, monthly checks, medicare, and medicine. maybe i can get help for some of the othe health issues i have. i have a good doctor now that has helped me with the pain, and stress until this went through. i dont know if i have ever really talked abou my fibro or not. i take ultram for rveryday pain. valium for stress and sleep, soma for muscle spasms, and lorcet-10 for bad days. wouldnt have much of a life without them. i read the dissussion about pros and cons of taking meds.  i really dont understand how a person with fibro like i have could not have them. (please dont start a argument about that statement. it was not meant to offend anyone!) my son is doing great, he looks great, his viral load is undectable, and his t-cell count is over 500. can you feel me beam when i talk about him? he has gone to being bookeeper for the store he has worked at for 28 years, and he likes it much better. no stress, no walking the store all day to check and doublecheck prices, as the scans corodinator. my heart is at peace about him. mu oldest son and is wife both are drivers of an 18 wheeler they drive cross country. i will  get to see them around the 14. my youngest sonlives  here, and works for united national paper company. if i could find him a wife, i think his life would be complete. i live with my daughter and her 2 kids she is a single mother studying to be a pharmacy tech. i am very proud of all my kids now, but trust me there have been a couple that have to work through alot of problems. i think (i pray) all that is behind them. my 2 grandchildren really give me my go. itell them they make my heart smile. austin is 6 yr., and addyson is15mo. i added some pictures. not hard to tell which one is austin. i couldnt get addys to download. i will try tomorrow. i think this was supposed to be my profile, but i have never really told much about myself except, my son with hiv, but i am very proud of al my kids. hope things are better for all the people on this site. i dont write alot, have gotten lots of love and good advice from you. thanks hugs, and kisses to all,. if ayone thinks i can help, please message me.  sue
