Thanks for the welcome

[Guest guest]

Hi, I wanted to thank everyone for the welcome. I was really overwhelmed

yesterday after reading what my doctor had to say about my condition.

That, and being at odds with my mom and all my in-laws just isn't

helping!!

I am in Colorado. We have been here for about 2 months, and I have met a

few people. I homeschool my kids and started a group so that I could meet

people. That has been good support for homeschooling, but not for my

health issues. In a way, I am really stressed because of the homeschool

group and it has been suggested to me that I stop homeschooling and put

the kids back in school. A way for me to destress? I don't know...It

isn't something that I want, and I am not sure how my kids would deal

with it.

I did go see my PCM today and it wasn't very productive. I didn't get any

tests scheduled, although she did recommend that I go to physical therapy

because of my fibromyalgia. The appointment seemed very rushed, and at

one point I had to say, " but I needed to tell you this.... " It was

frustrating. Maybe I need a new doctor? Welcome to military care, I guess

I did notice that the majority of people who responded to my initial post

have grandchildren...I have heard that RP doesn't normally manifest, or

isn't diagnosed (?), until the mid 40s...is there anyone in their 20s or

early 30s dealing with taking care of young children on this list? What

options do I have? Sometimes I feel like I am not being a good mom and

worry that the kids will be taken away from me. I am not as active as I

use to be and need to rest a lot. I did realize, however, that they are

still learning, which is good--because I worry about that, too....they

discussed everything with their dad that they learned in homeschool, so

that was a relief.

Anyway, I am glad I found this group. Thank you for being so nice a

welcoming me to the group. I hope everyone is doing well.
