Hi Barbara,
This is bad news indeed.
But you don't have to accept it lying down!
Fight, I say!
Do your research, get your treatments and don't roll silently into the sunset on your moibility scooter!
I have a chronic illness myself and it was far worse when I allowed myself to wallow in self pity. It's still there now, but I'm in charge of it, It does not rule my life. So I say to you, put yourself in the driving seat of this thing and keep doing the things you love for as long as you can.
I'll be thinking of you and waiting for your next post.
Jules

Thank you Jules. It isn't my style to wallow either, but I am a realist also, ergo the posting in case. Much love and Blessings to you and keep your chin-up also friend. Barbara

I'm sorry for your suffering. And I'll give some soft advice--take it if you will, leave it if you will. But I wouldn't feel right if I said nothing. I have seen miracles happen for people with all of the symptoms you've listed through chiropractics. Everything in your body is conn. to the spine an nerve system, so it makes sense to me that if something is wrong there, it will show up in symptoms in your body. Like I said, I've seen miracles--people who thought they were on their last leg--literally--are running on both. Gonstead practitioners are extremely attentive and helpful. Just something to think about. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Thank you so much. I have gone to chiropractors for years. This last one has worked miracles for me especially in the pain department and movement. Blessings, and thank you again. Barbara

I just started on this site this week and have read nothing but poems until this piece. I am so sorry to hear that you are having problems and that you are leaving. I loved the honesty of this piece of work. I have to say that your writing, even if it seems weak to you, is still way ahead of so much that I have read here and other places already. I saw a great deal of clarity in it. As far as spelling...well, we all forget how to spell things sometimes, there are way too many words in the English language for anyone to be expected to remember them all, all of the time. That's why they invented spell checkers!
Best wishes to you if you do leave. I wish I had gotten here earlier so I could have gotten to know you.

When I first started reading, I hoped that this was fiction. I haven't been on this site that long so I don't know. But I am totally touched and depressed by your writing because it is so real. It especially touches me because I lost my mother nine years ago to dementia so that hole in my heart was opened to you. You present this story extremely well. I find myself hoping that this is fiction. At any rate excellent work and God Bless you.

LovnPeace, it feels silly to "rate" your goodby, but written well, as you always do. I've read some of your work, not a lot, but what I've read is done well. Sorry for your diagnosis and what you may have to go thru in the too near future. And, I appreciate your thoughtfulness to those who may wonder where you've disappeared to. I know I've wondered that a couple of times on some other writters I noticed had not posted or reviewed in awhile. Good luck and keep writing if and when you can.
