Doctor: "From what you've said and what I've read in your chart, I honestly can't see how you've been able to function at *all.* I can only surmise that you've been functioning by sheer force of will for, well, your whole life ( Read more... )

I haven't been able to find the correct words to state my support here through the challenges you've been facing, but I really do value our acquaintance/friendship, and I wish you a productive journey towards health on all levels!

On a different note, I'm really, really glad the medical discrimination is no longer an issue for you - I'm having to deal with discrimination (not necessarily intentional, but no less infuriating) towards accessibility at my own workplace, and it's a grind. :)

Thank you, Chris. I'm sorry to hear about your accessibility issues. I know how irritating those are, even when they're not intentional. My discrimination wasn't really intentional either for the most part.

Your ability to deal with your disability has always astounded and impressed me. I hope you get your accessibility issues worked out!

I am here, I read, and I care. Will I see you at Intercon?

Thank you, and you will. I just hope I'll have time to prepare, which means sewing and learning to dance a specific dance. Hope I have the energy for it.

*hugs* I'm sorry things inside are so sucky when things outside seem to be going well. I hope you can navigate to a sunny shore!

(BTW, it's fibromyalgia - I know this because I frequently treat people who have it.)

Simple enough for the doc to say, right?

Dan had both Lyme and Mono within a 1 year span around age 18. He obviously recovered and is very active, but he does have relapses about once a year. They don't last too long, and it's usually just a matter of slowing down, taking care of himself, and letting it pass. Course he seems to be having one now without the chance to take care of himself (due to baby and school), so I definitely feel for what you are going through watching it happen here.

As for the rest, well, *HUGS* and good luck. Glad you have some real positives in your life like Sarah. :)

*pebble* Listening, here if you have need. What sort of sewing are you planning?

Intercon costuming, which includes pants! Pants that are made from... PANTS! (don't ask)
