Hack, Hack, Hack!

[Guest guest]

Hello Everybody!

I haven't been writing much 'cause all I have done for the last 11 days

is cough and hack and wheeze! I had to go out when it was raining and

the mold was high which started this seige a week ago Thurs. Then, my

Dad threw a cookout for me on Sunday for my birthday and I got downwind

of some charcoal starter! The minute I tasted it in my mouth I knew I

was in trouble! So, it has been real hard to write with the racking

spasms that have made me feel like someone has beat me with a

two-by-four! It is depressing too...I see the laundry piling up,

knowing that the walk back and forth to the laundry room will throw me

into bronchospasms; I need to go to the grocery store, but can't imagine

getting thru my shopping without breaking out in a coughing fit! I will

just have to wait til my body( and the drugs I am putting into it)

decides to get over this inflammation. Yeah, it gets to be very

depressing, but THIS TOO WILL PASS!

Since I do live alone I have found that I can roll with the moods or

depressions. If I don't feel like doing anything, I just don't do

it...the mood will switch after it gets thru the cycle. At other times I

will be " up " and will literally kill myself getting the things done that

did not even matter when I was down! *S* I have tried many of the

anti-depressants, etc. but none of them worked for me. I applaud the

folks who use them with some degree of success. The smallest dosage

just literally made a " recliner rooster " out of me. Could be due to the

Multiple Chemical Sensitivities or extreme allergies???

Thanks to the ones on the list that wrote me with advice and

encouragement here lately. I do appreciate each and every one of you. I

really feel compassion for the ones that are worse off than I...you

notice I said I " walk " to the laundry room. *S*

God Bless,

Diane
