Stranded, I really hope you/they get this straightened out with the apartment. When I lost my home to fire I was left homeless n it was probably the all time most stressful time in my life. See if you can find temp. housing in advance so if it should take an extra week or so you won't be out in the cold.
My prayers n thoughts are with you. I'd start calling some agencies in your area for a back up, just explain the situation to them.
Please let us know how this progress's.
Hugs, XXXXXXXXXXX

nothing is four ever. where should I look for temporary housing. Shoild I just google it and see if there are any programs? I don't want to have no where to go. I will try this.

Stranded, I'm very sorry to hear about your problems with the apartment. I hope everything gets resolved in your favor.

Cathy, please keep us posted on the eye condition and I also hope you find a nice place to live.

David, I don't know if I can make it to my third anniversary. All of you are so brave.

Tendonshurt, I can't imagine babysitting with this illness, but you sure are lucky to have had children and grandchildren. My brothers and sisters are all crazy about theirs. I wasn't able to have children.

Once again thanks for all the warm welcomes I received the other day

I have decided to return and start posting on selective posts on here.
I am doing well now that they have my pain controlled better.
And with spring weather we are having right now the world couldn't be better right now.

Those who do so please pray for a couple of my friends who are going through some tough times right now.

Sorry I can't be more specific but I can't break confidences. God knows who they are and what they are going through.

Thank you all

I'm worried about my bff she has lupus and recently has found numerous lumps on her lymph nodes. She also has lost alot of weight. She has a heart of gold and has always taken in families, kids and animals. She'd give her last dollar to help someone else. Please pray for my best friend. She's had several test this last week and she see's her doc on Monday. They've called her twice already wanting her to come in now. Thank you in advance for your prayers. Her name is Kim.

tendondhurt, i will be praying for Kim. Lupus is unfortunatly one of the most "mis-understood" illness's/diseases it seems n is so debilatating. My bros' wife passed away several yrs. ago from complications from lupus. She/her fam' were fortunate to have her long as they did. My bro thinks it may have started with a blood transfusion many yrs ago.
Unfortunatly I meet many of the "critera" for it myself n don't expect to receive a great deal of support from many people, incl. fam' members. Again this is why this group is soooo important/special to me. Where else can we go n receive this kind of "understanding/support", etc.???
Welcome to all who are new here n may you find the same compassion n support that I have as well as so many others.
love,hugs n prayers, Vicky XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Good Morning,

I hope your friend Kim is going to be all right and I will be thinking and praying for her and you to help her get through this hard time.

Same old things going on here it seems like I have to get out of this rut and back to my old self just cant seem to shake these headaches and fatigue has set in so bad that it makes my pain worse from sitting around to much.

It was a exciting night for us with sports as the Tigers won the game last night and they are on their way to Texas to play game six and the Red wings played downtown also so I can just imagine how busy it was down there. I stayed away but it is good for our economy as MI is still really weak.

Hi Everyone,

@Hathani, Assuredly, your friends will be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care! Hugs!

@Tendonshurt, Sadly, I am familar with autoimmune disorders and know how rough it can be. I too, have had friends go downhill quickly. Know that your friend Kim will be in my thoughts and prayers, as will you. Hang in there and keep us informed ok! Hugs!

@Manny. Grrrrr to your headpain, wish it would give you a break! I had no idea that you were such a sports fan. GO TIGERS! Now tell me what we are cheering for?! LOL. I know nothing, or next to nothing about sports. Is it baseball? That's my best guess without looking it up, which I will. Hugs!

As for me.....more of the same too. My vision continues to be a little funky. Making typing interesting. Otherwise, next week I have two doctor appointments. I've been feeling a little low of late. But I keep chugging along. I hope this finds you all having low-pain days and doing something you enjoy. Hugs, Cathy

Went to the dentist yesterday and he just grabbed my hand, gave it a squeeze and a shake. OUCH! I'm still trying to get it to calm down.

Good Afternoon All,

Hathani, So glad that you are here. You have been missed. I will pray for your friends.

Marci, same for you. That's sounds tough.

Hey Vicky, Manny, Cathy, Keeska, and all of our other faithful friends.

Got good news today. Going back to work Monday morning, should be full time, with lifting and overhead work restrictions. i don't know who's happier, me or my wife...(Lol)

I hope you all have a great night. For those going away for the weekend, be safe.

Thanks to you all for being here.

Any other new folks?????? Come on in!!!!

Big Hugs,
David.

Keeska,
This is a major problem for me. I have fibro and especially when I would go to church, I would try to try to explain to others that I can't have my hands shaken because it hurts a lot. Also Hugs are not always something that I can handle. Basically trying to get this point across never worked. The first person would not understand and pout and before I was alble to say anything there were people everywhere shaking my hand hello. There were many men and women that shook my hand so hard I was seeing stars and when I went home I had a bad flair from a Handshake! I just can't be touched at all sometimes and I can't take people shaking my hand.I have felt that I only way I could stop it was to by bandages for both my hands that I could slip into before I went anywhere. Also I felt about buying a big sign and wearing it around my neck. There where the hugs too. For me men don't like to hug so they will stand back and pat your sholder in a strange way. I have found only one lady who could give me hugs and not hurt me. She was sweet she would asked before she hugged.I wish everyone could be like that. It is hard to pound it in their head that looking at me and seeing she looks fine just go right ahead grap my hand and shake as hard as you can. I for some reason is why I don't go to group gatherings.

I am having my service coorinator calling to find temporary heading so i don't have to go into emergency care which is more like a shelter . She is also looking into a moving company and storage for all my apartment. I can afford these things just because I had been saving so long for a medical scooter. Where I will end up is a mystery. I hoping for to find someplace because I am disabled and have dealt with domestic problems with my ex. He called again. No my ex didn't beat me daily but he controlled me. He wouldn't let me go out. He would scream and yell and throw things. He came to my home last month after I told him so many times to not call me or come to my home. I would have gotten a restraining order but my ex's son is marrying into my family. His son is marrying my niece. My ex spoiled his son and I tried to disapline but he said that, His son lived with us until college and still goes him to his fathers. My ex I have blocked him from facebook which I only use to talk to my family. My email account because he wouldn't stop calling me. Now I am going to who knows where because I have no housing lined out. my ex joined a on line companyand now has a girl friend because he lied just about every . He made himself seven years younger. lol He mad no mention of mental illness disablity and that had college and a job. He told me he was sick of not being noble. The was having difficulty with the lying and getting could point. I simply said if I came back he would drop his girl friend and I would have to change. Get real. I said I left him so I didn't have to take care of him like a big kid who had to be taken care of. He never was anything but mad and frustrated at my pain and I would like a child get him through his times where he felt like everything was too much. Yet he still calls me and this after I said it to his face in my home and told to leave not come to my house again and told him to never call or visit me again. I done this so m any times you think he would get it. Right now I hope to find a bed and peace and in a little time a home. Hoping that now it is me that needs help I will find a way to get a safe place to live. I am glad that I had saved some money for something else. If I hadn't I would I wouldn't have any options. i pray that perhaps I get a last minute yes for the apartment or a very nice place to stay until I do. Resonable moving fee to a resonably price storage unit that protect and not damaging my things. Sorry it was so long. I am still worried who wouldn't Now I just know what to do and to keep praying like I have. Hopefully dear Lord, My service Coordinator will find a good safe place to space for me
