Folks, I am having serious health problems.
My diabetes is still out of control and my neck hurt so badly all weekend, I spent most of my time in bed. I can't go on like this. I have to find a doctor that is serious about helping me.

For now, I'm going to try to stay away from the news and DU. I might come into the lounge for shits and giggles, but empathy for Katrina and fury at RW family members (coupled with health problems) nearly sent me over the edge.

Please wish me well. I could use your support now.

3. We're here for you.
I'm taking a break from DU and news, too. Not to deal with anything like what you're dealing with, just to try to feel a little more human. If that's possible. I hope that you have the best luck ever in locating a physician or physicians who are serious about meeting your needs. If you care what I think, you should be very persistent until you find those providers. You deserve to live as healthfully as you can.

7. that's too bad, LH
I know you've been sick for a while and all. You should keep shopping around and find a doctor who can help you. That's a great idea. I think you are on the right path on that one, because there is no use being ill and in pain when you can get someone who can get you feeling better.

Yeah, the news will get to you. It bothers me too. I don't watch tv news, it PO's me quite a bit. I read most of my stuff, even then I had to learn to relax, otherwise I was just getting worked up enough to get a heart attack or something at an early age. Find some good books, good movies, relax and take your mind off of all of the BS. We'll still all be here for you.

I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You just take care of yourself, my friend. :)

9. Take care!
If it's any consolation, I finally have mine corraled. Fasting readings of 112...
Concentrate on your health, there's enough of us left to slap the shit out of the Freepers!

10. I have several health issues myself
I might have gallstones and had a severe attack a few weeks ago, I have chronic anxiety, I have to take thyroid meds....

In short, I hope you get better. I stopped watching the news for a few days and took a trip to the beach for the weekend. It did wonders for me. Take a break, relax and don't watch any news for a few days----believe me, it really helps when you are overstressed.

13. First time in days that I come into the lounge
and read this, It's a bitch being poor and sick in america these days, and having to deal with trogldyte family members doesn't help either.
Take care of yourself, see you when the big push comes.

14. I hope you get your problems taken care of
I understand what you mean about needing to stay away from all the news and DU. I should be staying away from it too. I just get too upset about it all to the detriment of my health and to no one's betterment.

22. Aw, LH.
Please try to let yourself relax for a little while. You have to calm down and try to de-pressurize a little bit.

We'll be here when you get back!

27. I'm sorry you aren't well Ladyhawk...
:hug: Maybe it would help you do do something like Yoga or Tai Chi to restore your spirit's sense of wellness. It's difficult for the body to be fit when the soul is dragging. :hug:

28. Ladyhawk, it's a good idea to step back and regroup.
I hope you can find some good medical guidance in the management of your diabetes, and feel better.

:boring:
Get some rest!


:rofl:
Watch a happy movie!


:hug:
Enjoy a friend.

29. i'm sorry ladyhawk
please don't make yrself sick

yr posts have meant a lot to me in this time of trial

i must say yr post telling of how you were told to evacuate because of the fire & only had time to grab gabby touched my heart, it made me feel less alone

take some time off, take care of yrself, get some rest

you make a difference, you don't have to do it all in one day

have some rest, have some fun, and rejuvenate
