Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Hi Martha, Rita, Sharon, Reading Sharon's post the other day with that great line " what war were you in " somehow drove home the point that we all have our baggage. For year after my husband died, (and even now, periodically) I can be pretty easily convinced that no one had it worse than me. I like to think that remembering that we all have problems tempers my own sarcasm, tendency to isolation and brusqueness - which cuts through the emotional downward spiral. Martha, please, please please don't think I'm trying to make light of your situation - I may be the only one who says it, but I think heavy {and I mean heavy!} proteinuria does have emotional consequences. I know was certainly a different child when his protein creatinine ratio was sky high. Hopefully once you get that proteinuria under control a bit, things will seem more managable. Until then, please remember, we're all here for you. In the meantime, I'm off to shovel the rabbit crap that my immunocompromised son gets out of cleaning up. Rita thanks for a wonderful post! It really made my morning. Hmmm, I never thought about mints... Cy depressed > I am finding myself falling into a depression,and am not sure how to > get out.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Dear Martha, I just want you to know I can empathize with you. I will be thinking about you and sending you positivie thoughts. _____ From: Martha Sent: Sunday, May 02, 2004 1:05 AM To: iga-nephropathy Subject: depressed I am finding myself falling into a depression,and am not sure how to get out. My boyfriend found a job after not working for 3 months and yesterday they fired him for swearing (once and a customer in hear shot) no warning just let him go. what is worse they waited to the end of the day to do it. I am leaking so much protien, i am back to wanting to sleep all the time. and my feet have been so swollen that i missed 2 pt appts. They hurt just to be on them or even sometimes off. I have been through so much pain killers that i am back to the tramdol which mixed with my muscle relaxer can cause a seizure. But I am not sure my doctor will call me any more of the other ones. I see him on the 12th. I still have that wonderful 24 hour test to do. And if I don't heard from ssdi soon I am going to scream, I hate living like this. the only reason we even have a place to live is the city is helping. his mom is going to help us with the cable so we don't lose online and phone; but if we don't get some kind of income soon we will lose power (and stove is electric). Some days i think i made a mistake trying for ssdi but then i have periods like i am going through now when i can barley get around the apt; i know i need it. Thanks for letting get this out, I feel a little better.
