You all are the best!!!!

[Guest guest]

I am really new to the group. I have been lurking and reading. I have been

trying to get to know everyone a bit. I decided last night to just share,love,

and learn. I admire everyone so much. I am truly in amazment. I have had two

really tough things to deal with since the end of March...my diagnosis and being

laid off. All within two weeks. This group has helped me let go of the anger

and look forward. However, fear is still there.

I have learned so much. The topics give a point of reference for research. I

started to become forgetful, confused and so on. I'm 39 years old. I thought I

had just lost my mind. It's nice to know I didn't and other people experience

this too. Saturday I had to close a deal for my other half, I've done it a

million times. You would have thought they asked me to launch the space shuttle

on my own. I try to hide it, but it's frustrating.

Lactulose, yuk. I take it twice a day. I have thrown it up, it's come out my

nose, all is very discusting. I begged for a pill, but the doctor said this was

it. Here's my trick. I always have fresh lemons sliced up for my water. I put

fresh lemon juice in with the lactulose and mix it with water.

I get really lonely too. I feel alone a lot. I don't tell people whats wrong

with me. I try to do something I'm passionate about. I cook. Also, prior to

getting sick, I adopted a 10 year old cat. His name is Jay. I did not want to

have any pets because we were not home a lot. He came from a friend of mine and

needed a good home. He has turned out to be a blessing. He is by my side always

and knows when I don't feel good, and puts a smile on my face. Everything

happens for a reason.

My faith had disappeared until I found this group. My prayers are with all of

you. Thank you.
