Hello Garry, thank you very much for welcoming me.

Sorry, it took me so long. I don't feel too well.

I hope you feel better than some weeks ago. How are you?

That's very sad that you just have one doctor who cares about you, especially with the severe health problems. Did you get physical therapy after the strokes? If it's all right asking you this.

I'm writing for some years with Americans and so far the health care seemed better here on some points, especially when on social security disability. If all changes are put through than these days are gone and the medical care health will start to look compatible.

My family-doctor stopped phoning me, and while i'm in a flare, i'm too busy taking care of myself to best of my ability. She had said my health issues are beyond her capacity and i'm glad she was honest this time. Also she agreed to see a rheumatologist specialized in lupus. So that's the main thing as she didn't want to refer me anymore, while she refused to listen to my increasing symptoms. Real quacks I didn't encounter so far. I'm sorry you did for this can be of vital importance with lupus.

That's really very nice of you, you want to listen if I would need to talk or vent. I appreciate it very much. I have a weird and confusing past, I don't even talk to much off with friends, than other survivors, most Americans, for sometimes we share the same perpretators. I can't separate it all from myself, so if I need to, I might try to share the emotions. Thanks again, Garry.

I hope you are well. My regards to your wife too.

Btw I almost forget, ofcourse I will listen to you too any time you need to. To me the most helpful thing is to be there for each other on a list. Besides past active life, I still find it frustrating when I can't email when I want to for the health problems. Also my hands can stop functioning or can be spastic, so than my answer can be delayed as well. Just for your information.

micha.

Hello, Wlecome to the group. I am new myself to the group. Sorry it took a few days to reply but I haven't been myself. I ma sorry for the losses but you need to take of yourself. I know how it feels I to am on social security disability. I had to finally quit working after 4 strokes ( 2 of them at work), and 2 hip surgeries. If you need to talk or vent just let me know I will listen. I haven't been abused by a doctor but I have run across some real QUACKS in fact there is only 1 doctor here where I live that will even care for me when I am having a flare up or even a cold.Garry
