About Me: Female, 54, San Diego - CA, member since Jun 2008
I have been married to my high school sweetie for 36 years in August of this year. We have 2 sons, 2 daughters all grown up. We have 3 grandsons and 2 grand daughters, & 3 spoiled cats. My Family is everything to me. I was diagnosed nearly 20 yrs. ago with Osteoarthriti ... [More] s in my spine, neck  a result of a car accident when I was 14, I suffered traumatic Brain Injury that nearly killed me. I was in a coma nearly 3 wks. I have had partial seizures, but I have not had any the past 9 years. But I just had an EEG done on Augusr 22, 2008 to see if the seizures have returned, I have had the same symptoms as before & I now waiting for the EEG test results. I also have Osteoarthritis in my  right knee.  I also haveOsteoarthritis &  chronic pain in my neck & back , I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2000,& deal with fibro fog a lot.,Chronic Fatigue Snydrom and anxiety disorder, Depression & I suffer from migraines. I have been under a lot of stress. As a result of all my health I had to quit working last September 2007, I could no longer function at work, I was in so much pain & the Fibro. Fog made it impossible to work as an Office Admin. for Attorneys.  My youngest Daughter Debra asked to try this website for support.  My baby girl was right, I have made some very special  friends since I joined MH. I joined the MS community in support of my daughter Debra.  I want to know and understand MS so I can be there for her.  I love her so much.As I love all my kids, cats, my wonderful husband.I just found out today,7/2/08 that I have sleep apnea that definetly  did not help with my depression. I just was approved for SDI this month, August, 2008. I want to learn how to accept my disabilities for myself, but for my family. I am trying to not feel guilty because I am sick. I love doing anything with my husband when I am up to it. I am thankful for the MH Family.

Shar, Your mood is sure gloomy today... my major thought is if it were your husband, after all these years, would you jump ship on him? Think about it! - Lulu

You're in my thoughts all the time, but especially today. I might have a solution to your scooter problem. I placed my name on our list for one at work today. I was told there was possibly two upstairs in a locked room. My doctor will give me a prescription for a scooter, so that not a problem. I might not be able to find out anything until Monday- hopefully tomorrow. But if we have one then It will be donated to me and I can send it to you COD. What do you think? I'm praying my co-workers are right. If I find out something tomorrow then I will call you. If you get this tonight (11-12-08), email me back. It's worth a try, because if they are wrong...then I 'm still the next one on the list to get a folding walker once one is donated. I hope this cheers you up! Lori
