Lil,

We'll suffer through it together. :-) I'm in perimenopause & I have

to say that the Luvox I'm on must be doing it's stuff, because I never

felt as grounded before I began on the Luvox. It helps with the

perimenopause hormonal stuff, the depression *and* the OCD. The

psychiatrist said that's one way they can be certain that my

depression/OCD is genetic - that I noticed a difference right away

after I began the medicine. Although I'm tremendously grateful for

the therapy I've had throughout the years. One very wonderful woman

- a social worker - Mabel Bostwick, helped me tremendously during the

worst of my depression. She was like an angel!

-Jean

P.S. Happy birthday!

The other night my husband and I sat down to watch a movie. I wanted him to

see " The Sixth Sense " . Before we got started a family friend stopped by and

also sat down to watch. After the movie was over, my husband got up and

left the room crying. I followed him of course to see what was going on. He

was upset because the boy in the movie reminded him of our son. The social

alienation, the teasing and the kid's desperation in trying to find someone

who understood him and would love him anyway. I sat and cryed with him for

awhile and then went back into the room to our friend who was confused

because we had both left the room crying. I told her that the movie reminded

Tony too much about the troubles our son has. She actually said, " You mean

he sees ghosts now? " My God lady...! My husband and I had a long talk

about who actually KNOWS what Tom has to deal with. We figured it was us

two, my sister who lives with us and my best friend. That's it. And we have

a huge extended family and lots of friends! No one really knows unless they

spend a lot of time with him. Stand back in your life and decide who really

knows. Then tune out the opinions of everybody else. They simply dont see

all of the picture!

Thanks, Amy. I'll try to remember that. I'm sorry that movie upset you

os much. I haven't seen it and now I think I might steer clear of it. I

already feel bad enough for Micahel and all of the other kids on this

list. Sounds like your husband is a real keeper. That's great htat you

were able to talk about it so well and be such a good support to each

other. When I married Tom, I sort-of liked that he was laid back, quiet,

responsible, funny, etc. I still like those traits about him, although

those same traits also upset me sometime in that he is not in touch with

his emotions and doesn't know how to express his emotions (or much

emotional support) to me. I think what happened is that I left my 8-yr.

nowhere relationship with a guy like my dad and married my mother! LOL

Actually, Tom's a little better than my mom, but - just like her - he

doesn't know how to express his feelings very well. I'm still better

off, though, so I can't complain much. At least he loves me, he's there

for me, he's affectionate, he's a great dad, and he *tries* to understand

my point of view.

Amy:

Good advice!! I don't have a problem telling people has OCD -- I try to make it common (as it is, even though people don't know it is) so he doesn't feel he is SOOO different. I tell him it's no different than having any other illnesses that people must live with throughout their lifetime.

I agree with you "Lady .... what planet are you from????!!!

The VA, Congress etc takes their cue from the CDC and has for years.

Miram Alter has been a thorn in the side of all groups trying to

reach Congress for more funding for the past 5 years that I have been

involved in this stuff and probably longer.

If the CDC tells them it's so...they take them at their word and

leave the issue behind plain and simple. Look how many years it took

for the CDC to do anything at all about HIV.

We are considered drug users/junkies and low lifes so the CDC doesn't

do diddly about this. They refuse to do public awareness

announcements about the risk factors, and Dr. Harold Margolis, who is

the HEAD of the Hepatitis C program at the CDC, told us in a meeting

in Washington DC in 2000, that it's up to US - the Heppers - to get

the word out! His excuse...money. He wouldn't stick around for

questions after the seminar either.

The CDC controls Congress by telling them what to give funding for

and what not to give funding for. They wouldn't even TALK about HepC

up until about 6 yrs ago. Their reaason was that there wasn't a good

enough treatment so why scare people.

You know what's REALLY sad about this? While the disabled/retired vet

NEEDS this money to survive, it will most likely NEVER happen.

Our government simply doesn't care enough about our Veterans to give

them what they deserve for serving our country.

Thanks for posting both of these. Maybe some of our members will

write to their respective congressional leaders asking them to back

this proposal.

Dear

It's good to finally have a diagnosis but how difficult for you to be in constant seizure activity. Do the neurologists think they can get them back under control? Do you have someone with you?

I'm not surprised that one disease getting worse would throw the other into greater activity. The people I've know with a seizure disorder usually got worse when they were extrememly worn out.

I believe there is someone here who has a seizure disorder but I can't remember who. Take care and keep on it as you are able.

Hello ,

Let me say this, you'are all the way correct. I have been taught in school

that a proper name never should be translated so, I keep signing even

though it provokes reactions which are unavoidable but funny when you start

to think about it.

A pleasant day to you and all,

Jean

Hi ,

Okay for the name, I aggree it is a nice one so I stick with it and does

use my nickname often for.... it is not so nice. Don't lok in the

dictionary, you will not find it. In French, it is griche poil and the best

translation I could come up with is grich. Forget it, I stand by from

now on.

Thanks, Jean!! I appreciate your comments about trileptal and about Beth

- as far as I can tell you're posting to the list - there has been very

little activity on the list lately, it has mostly been CIG announcements.

I would suggest that you post your medical concerns, and see the answers you

will get.

While I was still down there, senior housing was for "seniors" only......and the sliding scale type housing was in areas I'd have to buy a pit bull to live there!!! Not a cheap area to live. Take Care, gettingthere35 <gettingthere35@...> wrote: Up here in Massachusetts, I think that folks on SSDI can get into Senior Housing, with those benefits. I know there had been hard feelings, as some drug addicts were also there, because of being on SSDI and the seniors felt unsafe. Might be worth checking out? and don't you have some

services that are provlided on a sliding scale? eg as in Family Services and meals and housekeeping and such ah well. Life does go on, despite the 'challenges'... best to you all Re: I am new/ H. Hope you have a good attorney. I used one in Bedford and we filed in Dallas. She told me it was easier to get in Dallas than Fort Worth. But good luck, it took me 2 1/2 years!!!! I sure miss Texas.....my plan is to try to get back down there... but I can't live alone (don't make enough) and I have a dog AND I'm 52, which means I don't qualify for any type of senior housing. Amazing, you don't have the same benefits when you're on SSD as a regular senior who is drawing SS. I feel that a little unfair, once you go on SSD, I feel you should be allowed access to other, if not all, "senior" benefits. But that's just my opinion. Well, enjoy it down there, would give anything (except my dog!!!) to switch places with you!!!!Take Care, Lee Holbert <rlhintexascharter (DOT) net> wrote:
