Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hi, My name is Deta and I am a new member of your group. I am looking forward to being a part of this group. I am 50 and married to Tommy for 34 years. 2 boys, 2 daughter in laws & 4 3/4 grands.The other 1/4 is due Feb. 29. Patiently waiting!! I had worked from age 16 til 12-23-2005. My nightmare started in 2003 with a back ache from Hades. Fast forward to having Degenerative Disc Disease and having Spinal Fusion L3,4,5,S1 March 2005. The 6 hr.surgery took 9 hrs. and my body basically turned against me after that. Now my list is: Post Laminectomy Pain Syndrome, Osteoarthritis, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Migraines, Sacroillitis, Fibromyalgia, Osteoporosis, Depression, Gerd, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Thyroid stopped working and finally Lupus. I have gained 100 lbs. over the last 4 years from all the steroids and not being able to move so well and I now need both knees replaced. I'm sure my story is no different from each and every1 of you here. I am looking to give and receive support on a daily basis as we have to deal w/this daily. My family is wonderful and supportive but, I am home alone ALL day and it's really hard sometimes. I hate the body I am in and I do all I can to keep my mind busy as not to think about it. I will close my book chapter now and start reading your posts. Looking forward to knowing y'all. -- Soft Hugs and Prayers, Deta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
