Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 After i turned 40 my health problems escalated.. before the hysterectomy in 2000-i had pre cancerous cells on my cervix-which were ablated -diagnosed with Hep C and 1st liver biopsy in early 2001-showing early cirrhosis, since then I have found out that i have diabetes, my sugar never goes high-just low. Onto glaucoma, Gerd, hiatal hernia, fibromyalgia with almost constant pain. Hemochromatosis a genetic blood disorder of which on its own can cause cirrhosis-i have to have regular phlebotomy done for this over load of iron. Many dental surgerys over the last 6 years being put to sleep which i hate. Last liver biopsy was done last year. I refuse to ever have another one. How does this make me feel?? Lucky to still be alive, for the most part i do my best to stay positive. but we all have our days. I am worn out from all the doc appts i have every month. when i am not running to those-i work part time at a good place where i can sit as much as i need to. my co-workers are really cool. I asked that my hours be cut down to less than 20 per week due to the extreme fatigue. I dont know how much longer i will be able to keep the job, because of the brain fog and memory loss. When i am at home i love to play yahoo pool, even tho i am not real good at it YET, lol. My husband of 5 years has watched me go down hill since we met in 1997. he is a wonderful man, but he is busy at work alot. we have so much stress with low wages and living from one day to the next. lil paycheck to paycheck. my son lives a distance from me and we dont see each other very often but we chat every chance we get on net. i feel like he is in denial about my health probs. i keep alot to myself, because i dont want to burden him or my husband no more than i have to. i do not want to be pitied. and i do not want them to worry when they have enuff problems already. when it gets to be too much i have crying spells and my hubby is there to comfort me and tell me he would not want to live without me. i thank God for my lil family all the time. thats about it. huggs jodoco right about now i am feeling comfortably numb, one of my all time fav. songs lol. --------------------------------- Yahoo!
