Hi Jane! Welcome Ash!

I too have done a little online shopping. I also went out with my daughter to a luminary festival at Green Lake, Pathway of Lights. We walked between live music venues but I wished I'd had a stroller for the 4 year old. For the first time, she and my service dog had trouble keeping up with me. While I'm grateful for having more mobility and less pain, I felt sad that we were so estranged from old friends (pre-motherhood) and family (religious conservatives that live 3,000 miles away. I could use the kind of network I grew up in (large extended family) all year long but especially during the holidays.

Jane, a thought about the 4 am wake ups and the pain, are you interested in bioidentical hormones? or maybe the Z-Health maneuvers that have ended my CF/FM-like agony? As far as I can tell what ended years of fruitless attempts at pain management for me were getting my Vitamin D3 levels up higher than 60, Z-Health and getting my metabolism balanced. Of course, not knowing your pain sources and history, I make no assumptions about your needs.

Hugs,
RW

I', almost 52, have known i was different as long as i can remember, put a label on it in college - I was 18 -, single, with multiple physical - mainly stemming from my spina bifida birth difference - and emotional - primarily depression and anxiety related - disabilities.

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME FEEDBACK ON THE IDEA BEFORE I PUT ALL THE WORK AND EFFORT INTO IT. I WOULD PAY TO KEEP THE ROOM OPEN PLEASE MESSAGE ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ALL THINK OF IT......

I am a lesbian who is single. I have numerous physical issues and am in chronic pain. I feel lonely and have no connection to the lesbian community until now. I am so glad that I found this wonderful group.

I happen to see this wonderful group and decided to join it. I didn't think that there was a group for disabled lesbians. Glad that there is one here. I haven't as yet checked to see who started it. I am here if anyone wants to chat with me.

Please keep this group going! I hve CP and still in the closet, but I'm glad that I'm not alone!

I'M LEGALLY BLIND, TOTALLY DEAF AND USE WHEELCHAIR FOR MOBILITY. I HAVE KNOWN I WAS GAY SINCE I WAS 15.

Hi Happy1027:

I'm from Northern California, and I'm glad that I ran across this website.

Hi everyone, Resilientwoman, I must say you are wonderful! What a strong woman you are! Im thankful for everyone who shared here. I am now 46 in Toledo Ohio and single living with an ex (My own bedroom). As I stated in earlier post, I lost my house and almost everything I had in a marriage. My disabilities are Major depression/anxiety Severely injured knee that I sometimes have to wear a brace on. and COPD lung disease but I am not on oxygen yet. If I am very careful and don't catch a cold ad wash my hands a million times a day and take meds, I stay pretty healthy with no infections. But I have been hospitolized 4 times from lung infections. I try to stay positive but am in a city I feel the lesbians are very stuck up in so I keep to myself. Would love to make new friends. I have 3 dogs I love more than anythng, 2 are 9 yrs old and they other is 6. If you want a new friend lets talk, maybe share facebook pages etc ... Have a beautiful day everyone! :0)
