Hi everyone,

Shirley got a hold of me by email. She told me some of you were worried that I was missing. I'm very sorry about that. I didn't think anyone would really notice. I sure didn't mean to worry anyone. Shirley's email got into my spam folder, but I'm glad I looked in there this morning.

I'm doing okay. Just hit a rough patch again for a while. It took me down sort of hard, emotionally, on top of the physical stuff. It wasn't fibro -- it was yet another danged virus. Seems that my immune system must have become so weakened by all the stuff I've been through these last months that I am/was able to catch anything going around. No fun at all. I think what kicked all of it off was the antibiotics I took back in July (I think July?) for 2-1/2 weeks. I think they killed off the last of my good bacteria in my body - because ever since then it has been one battle after another.

But anyway, I'm coming back to life again. *knock on wood* I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm going to be okay. Just got a bit down. You know how it goes.

*hugs* to you all.

:-)  Hello, Princess!

So glad you're ok - well, I guess you're not really ok, but - you know what I mean.  You're still here!

Being sick is definitely the pits.  Sorry you've had to go through it for so long. 

I've been dealing with increased pain, which is getting me down, and family relationships have also been - um - challenging.  If I could pinpoint a reason for the pain, it would help, of course. . . (I don't know what to do or not do differently!) 

Anyhoo, very good to hear from you.  Hope you feel lots better soon.

Debbie

Welcome back Princess, Im sure glad you made your e-mail address available so that I could get ahold of you. So sorry about your being sick and I understand how hard it is to write inspirational messages when your feeling down. We sure have missed you though. Even my oldest son asks if Ive heard from you yet every time he comes over. lol that should tell you that I was worried about you. I will be praying that you feel better soon.
Gentle Hugs

Aw! Shirley, that really is sweet. *Great big hugs*

Debbie, *great big hugs* to you, too. I'm sorry about the relationships thing - I can really identify, sadly. Sorry to about your extra pain. Isn't it just the absolute pits where you're trying EVERYTHING, but nothing is seeming to do it? I feel much the same.

I'll get to posting normally again. It is very uplifting hearing from you. Thank you.

Hi, Chick!  Good to see you again.  Yes, antibiotics sure can do a number on  you.  They kill ALL bacteria...the good as well as the bad.  I hope you are eating yogurt or taking probiotics.  That helps get the good bacteria back in your body to help fight off this stuff.

 

Rest up and feel better soon!

So glad to see a post from you Princess!  I will be praying for you and hope you are doing better!

Thanks, GSDgirl, Robin, Karen, Sherrine, and Libby. *hugs* All your kind wishes are really appreciated.

Sherrine - yep, trying to get myself to be able to increase the amount of yogurt I can tolerate now. Ever since that situation, I have had a devil of a time re-introducing foods. I'm working on it - and I think the yogurt is very important for getting my digestion worked out.

I am new here, so I am sorry I didn't know you were missing. LoL Glad to hear that you are feeling better and are on t he up and up. Whenever i have to take antibiotics for a long period of time I will go and get Culturelle. It is a pro-biotic that really helps boost your immune system. I went to pharmacy school, but don't practice now because I hated it...lol. So, just a thought, sorry if it;s unwanted. But hope you feel better and glad to see you back!

Well wishes!

(((Hugs)))
