    • About Me

      I am a writer, a thinker, an empath and healer. My spiritual, emotional and intellectual strengths have evolved exponentially since my body fell to chronic illness. I am either in bed or in my wheelchair, contentedly so. And the universe is marvellous in my eyes.

      From ghur4 October 28, 2008

      Hi...I read your profile. I felt sad concerning your illness the family problems you are having. However, you still have one hell of a sense of humor about it all. I think that this is a very good thing for you to have. Hope things are going ok for you..Guy

      You are right although at times it feels impossible to be positive. Blessings to you and thank you for the hug! I hope you are doing well.

      wishing the best on your surgery. When your feeling better I would love to talk with you about your seizure experience. I have had the same type of problem...the severe pain (15 on the scale of 1-10!) then seizures so bad I can't talk or move then wammo!...my body moves every which way it wants. They keep calling them 'psudo' seizures because the're not true epleptic seizure (my 1st psychologist said they were prob caused by 'mental' reasons....I had to search a long time to find info on seizures and MS so am really interested in your experiences.

    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Hello, my 26 year old son violently attacked me eight months ago. He then spent the next three months terrorizing and threatening me. He tore me apart with words of such intense cruelty that I felt I must be living a nightmare. I am bedridden for the most part, he would move my walker or wheelchair out of reach and put the phone in his pocket. He held me hostage for over three hours one night, approaching my bed repeatedly with his fist clenched, laughing as I cowered. I need help.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      After four years with the same therapist I'm ready to move on. He's still treating the woman I was at the begining of treatment. I am not that woman anymore.
    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Progressive Relapsing MS

      My life is spent sitting down. I don't walk much but I ride like the wind in my Fuschia wheels. My life is completely different now. Everything changed last fall when the relapse hit. I am now reinventing myself. There is a second someone within me and it's her turn to shine now.

    • Open Family Issues

      I cannot think of my children without pain. From estrangement to indifference, from violence to disappearance. I am always happy to hear about happy families, though my sense of longing is indescrible. I have a son and daughter, grandson and grand-daughter.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Four years and becoming frustrated. I want to be released from therapy and start my life.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I would not survive without my endless succession of big black notebooks. The act of writing brings me to the truth of any matter. I could not live without this process of self-examination.
    • Open Senior Dating & Sexuality

      I am not middle-aged, not quite a senior (I'm 49), but I know that I am now ready to embrace a new life as a mature woman. I think eight years alone with my cat is enough...
