I haven't been  here since the new layout.  I don't like it as well.  I just need to vent.  I am really struggling emotionally which is new to me because I am usually a pretty positive person.  I am feeling moments where I am very angry at everybody and want to cry.  Have gained a new random symptom that is exhausting.  A sharp nerve pain in the head and tension headache that tends to come in random short waves. I was dumped off onto a new doctor whom I don't like.  We are having family problems with my father in law.  85 and stubborn! Refuses to give up driving!  We even turned him in but nothing has been done.  I suppose they have to catch him in the act doing something wrong.  I am so emotionally tired and yet I don't want to have to go to another doctor!  Opps family is awake...I have to get moving hugs to all and thanks for listening.

Gentle hugs, and agreed, a lot of people are no longer using the site due to the changes, or are less active,.... So I am glad you vented here, b/c we *are* still here. Yes, short of major crapola hitting fans, nobody does *anything*. My mom's behavior was "eh" to all but me until they finally realized she had a very large brain tumor. Hello?! *headdesk*

It's okay to be angry and want to cry. It's not about being "negative". It's about having human emotions, and needing a good outlet before you *pop*. Everyone loses it now and then, an d it's healthy. I don't blame you a bit. We're here, okay? Rant, rave, rage, whatever.

I'm sorry that you are having such a hard time right now. Does anyone have a durable power of attorney for your father in law? That might be useful to override him on the driving issue. We had to take my Dad's car away because he had dementia. Very hard but necessary to protect him and other people too. You could also appeal to his doctor to notify the DMV that he should not be driving and have his license taken away. Doctors deal with this all of the time with older folks. Might be more neutral for him to do it than family.

You need to cry and vent and get it all out. This is scary, stressful stuff. We are around if you need someone to listen. Take care.

    Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1. Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
