It is hard to find caring and compassionate people, but they are out there. I

would like to think I am one of those. I try to help others, even if it is just

lending an ear or making a suggestion. I am praying for all of y'all that are

having difficult times right now. I wish there was something more I could do to

help.

Hugs,

are being. I don't think I could walk a mile in your shoes(not that I

can walk a mile,lol).

God Bless You

You are in my prayers

> I'm so sorry. This is what I have been saying about what I went

through. People don't care. For the most part they look for anything

to talk bad about you. I don't know what the hell happened to

compassion, but it is sure hard to find anymore. I was so sick the

last few months I was at work I didn't wear makeup anymore and my

hair was in a ponytail most of the time because that way I didn't

have to fuss with it.

> They all knew I had Lupus for 2 years and all they did was berate

me behind my back. I'd drag in there looking so bad and being so sick

and I still worked circles around them. So they badmouthed me because

of that. Then they tell me to take it easy and not work so hard and

then they'd badmouth me because I wasn't doing everyone's job

anymore.

> The truth is that we start to believe that its because of our

illness, but its not. It's the nature of the environment and

unfortunately its very common today. We just become extra sensitive

to it because we have something for them to sink their teeth into.

When we are absent we aren't there to defend ourselves. However, if

it wasn't our health it wouldn't make them stop. They would find

something anyway.

> So try not to let it get to you like it did me. I was devastated by

it. It damn near killed me; and it damn near killed at least 5 other

people at my place of employment that I know of. People that did NOT

have any chronic diseases. It DID kill one guy that I know of; at 38.

ly, I wasn't even diagnosed with Lupus when I went to work

there; and my blood pressure was normal without medication.

At least I found out why I went into suicidal mode for 32 hours the scarest of

my life. When you mix endep with valium which Dr's do often it leads to chemical

exchange in the brain that turns the depression up x 100 fold. one minute I was

fine the next I was literally under the table crying and shaking thinking i was

going to die. thank g-d it is over and I hate these Dr's who just add one drug

to another without a care in the world.
