[QUOTE="sushi, post: 5202, member: 70"] [b]thank you[/b] thank you no worries about gg points, there are some generous gg fairies out there and with the get lucky's i have plenty enough. i thank those who do that for people. this is a great community although i am always in the background. i never feel good enough to participate in many of the activities but i am very thankful for gone gambling. i have been ill since '91 which is ironic because my disability was job related respiratory problems. i left the job after 13 years, started college at 33 and moved to florida where i felt like a new person. i ended up graduating with a dual bachelor's degree in creative writing and anthropology and a master's degree in archaeology which was a dream of mine. i finished college in 1999, just weeks after finding out that i had a rare blood disorder and hep-c which resulted in two years of interferon treatments; most people are only on that poison for six months. it was two years of feeling like i had the flu, non-stop. i believe that stress and the interferon caused auto-immune issues, nerve damage (i guess that's fibromyalgia, which i never used to believe was real), muscle & joint degeneration and the list goes on. as far as your daughter and her meds; sometimes i think some of them cause more harm than good. i had been seeing four doctors and i had to put an end to that for financial reasons. i was taking 22 pills a day for a long time and i decided that i needed to weed out all those which were not necessary. i now am a firm believer that some doctors prescribe because it benefits them; why else give a med that costs $500 a month to someone who gets little more than $3000 a year for prescription coverage. i ran out in september last year and i still have not recovered from that. make sure her meds are compatible because some people can handle a certain combination while others cannot. i was in a small group of people where there was a perfect storm for me to have negative reactions to a mix. when i was younger (i feel very old at 57) i went through the counseling stuff as well and talking to others is very therapeutic. right now, because i'm disabled and it's subsidized, i live in a senior citizen apartment building. i love these people and there is always someone around to talk to. when i start having negative thoughts i make sure that i voice those thoughts because if i sit alone with them it causes problems. it is amazing what our brains are capable of but that same brain can also sabotage your thinking. at my worst, i watched several documentaries about suicide; talk about sick thinking...geez. one show was about the ernest hemingway family and i was only familiar with ernest and his grand daughter margaux killing themselves but there were 14 family members who died in that manner. anyway, getting to the point, when i found out which drug margaux used i got mine out and counted them, wondering if i had enough to do the job. i never would have thought that had i not known she used the same medication that i was taking. some of us are definitely wired differently. this is exactly what we do to ourselves when there is no outside influence or someone understanding to share our thoughts with. i myself don't have the type of mother that i can share feelings with, that just wasn't how she was built so your daughter is lucky to have you. keep the communication going and keep doing what you're doing and thank you so much for responding. it really helps to know that i am not alone. sue [/QUOTE]
