I wish to Goodness I could come on here and be super positive and cheer people up but the truth is I'm overwhelmingly sad. Nothing really new same thing can't have my meds yet still fighting jaw infection only lifeline is prednisone ( love/ hate). Can't take much more of this pain!! Have to make a last minute flight out of town this weekend a nightmare for me with everything that's hurting. I can say I'm so grateful for a living family and for God's strength to get me through. And as always grateful for all of you here. Blessings!!

I am so sorry you are feeling so miserable. Hopefully, the infection will clear soon, and you can have your meds again.

I hear ya, Kimberley! I feel the same way every time I come in here. I feel like I am always complaining. But hearing it from someone else helps me to realize you're not complaining,,,,,you are merely telling us what is going on with your life. And you have many struggles. The normal folks couldn't understand it if they tried. It has to be experienced.

I pray for relief for you, my sister warrior. This life is so challenging and proves what stuff we are made of. I'm in agreement with you that it is God who gives us the strength to go through yet another day. I couldn't make it without Him and also my friends here who understand,

God bless you!
