Yes, we all need inspiration, and I can think of none better than children and grandchildren. I think anger is part of the healing process, just like the grieving process. Come to think of it, it is probably a grieving process we do go through. We have lost something very valuable - the life we once knew. We cannot do the same things, we do not have the same energy, we have new issues with which to deal, and the list goes on. Then, not everyone understands what we are going through. No wonder everyone has so much sadness and anger. I do believe going though all of this does make us stronger if we hang in there. And, boy, do we learn a lot about ourselves - sometimes it is pretty scary. Prayers and hugs.

That's funny, but true!

Oh if only I had pain meds. to take, then I might have more to do with my life! HA!

Funny, but true again!

Some days are just bad and others are just "OK!" Symptom wise that is! Then try living in a house with a bunch of people who don't care that you are even ill! People who put you off like you are a dog! Try that my friends, I dare you! Hehe!

Sorry, was ranting! Almost 5am here and I just dread to have everyone wake up yet again making their usual crazy noise and not giving a crap I am even here, let alone feel as bad as I do most days! Sucks!

Sorry again with another rant! I have just had my full of being treated like a non-human!

It's more than enough that most days I feel non-human with this disease and the others I have on top of it, don't you all agree? I don't need extra crap on top of it!

Take care,
Stay sane!

P.S...the way my living situation is right now, I am sooooo blessed to have my loving, caring, wonderful boyfriend I can talk to and be with and just vent to or just smile with and forget this other crap that is on top of my diseases if only for 2 seconds!

He is my inspiration! Plus my pets I gotta be there for! I know for certain if I don't just push through the pain and I were to become decrepit, well, they would be sooooo assed out because the people here have as much regard for my pets as they do me!

OK! Rant over for now!

Take care,
Stay sane!

My kids and grandskids give me strength too. I don't want them to give uo on me and I don't want to give up on them. My grandchildren are at such wonderful ages 7 and 6. They are just happy that I can spend time with them. Even the simple things are big things to them.

You are very lucky to have your grandchildren to love on and their beautiful un conditional love. Children are too young to form the opinions that adults do they just love you unconditionally.I have a five year old grandaughter who I haven't seen now for three years as her mother does not understand my illness. I long to have her in my arms sometimes.Oh now I am crying for the first time In a long time.I so miss her and my family who all think I am a hypo chondriac.Its a constant grieving process .And I don't blame anyone for being angry.I am so alone .But DS is my family now and I bless each one here,Still crying.I am sorry don't mean to bring anyone down.For me to finally cry is good I think.I am so glad I have my dog and cats and you guys. God Bless all marilyn.I thank God too most of all for Jesus being my Lord and savior. I love you guys marilyn

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
