Re Plague, etc....Christie

Christie,

I am sorry you are under really difficult situation.. The ideal option is to

get the h*** out, but sometimes it is not possible.. That seems to be your

case.. It is really too bad.. the stress level alone can aggravate the

symptoms.. I am so glad you have this one.list group to talk with.. It has

helped me so much when I was housebound and not having any friends who really

understands (except two healthy friends).

Do you have people where you live who can help out ,,, by talking, etc? I

missed a lot while I was gone for three weeks and couldn't catch up with all

the posts.. A social worker? Just someone who can keep an eye and one you

can vent and ask for help.

good luck, christie.

hugs,

elizabeth

Yes, so true. Also dealing with ALex's illnesses - we are going to some

type of doc or test almost each day. And I can only do one activity in a

day! Spouse pays mortgage, utilities which I couldn't do on $440 SSD. So

yes, a tough decision - poor or poorer! I must include my opinion here -

that people who get sick by no fault of their own, can really lose

everything. This is yet another problem to be addressed, but it runs across

many diseases - but seems more common with the difficult ones like lyme, CFS

illnesses, anything ususual.
