Thank you all for your support and caring. It is such a breath of fresh air to be able to talk with people who truly understand what it's like to live with multiple disabilities and get through each day. I have lost my marriage, my relationship with my two older children because they don't want to deal with it. I have been living with the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Fibro for almost 18 years. The chronic pain from the adhesions for 5 years now. The diabetes for less than a year. It seems to be an ongoing thing. Always something new. I had my appendix rupture back at the end of 02 and then got hernia's from that surgery. I have had 6 surgeries in 5 years and am looking to another one. I have a new hernia now on top of everything else and they won't repair it until I have gastric bypass surgery, which I don't want to have because it will only make the adhesions worse and mean more pain. I already take so many meds that I have my own drugstore and they know me by name at my pharmacy. That is pretty bad. I have been divorced for over a year and am in a new relationship which I don't know will work out because I don't know if he can deal with it either. The only support I really get is from my parents and my youngest daughter who is 13. I am going through a really bad spell right now and each day is a real challenge. I hate it because I can't plan anything in advance because I don't know how I will feel from day to day. This whole thing really sucks and I am sick of dealing with it all. I have chronic depression and anxiety and that doesn't help either. I haven't given up yet, I keep searching for answers and hoping that something will change. Thank you all for your support and I do understand and feel your pain. I wish all of you a good day tomorrow. Thank you.

Pam
