About Me
I'm a proud mother of three daughters, one in heaven. I miss her everyday. But my other 2 daughters keep me very busy!! I'm married almost 7 years. We have 2 dogs and 2 frogs. And I'm almost 30!! AHHHH!! I'm a pretty happy person and smile alot, despite my medical conditions. I'm very grateful for my family and everything we have! :)
I hadn't entered what was wrong with me but figured instead of blogging it i would put it here. I have Sarcoidosis, which has turned Neuro. I have Pulmonary Fibrosis, Arthritis, Perpherial neuropathy, Hypothyroidism, Increased Spinal Pressure (Hydrocephalus--not sure of the spelling), tumor on the pituitary, my human growth hormone was elevated for some reason, I have chronic pain, headache, dizziness, vision and hearing changes, smelling and taste changes, frequent nose bleeds, Memory loss, extreme fatigue, obstuctive and central sleep apnea. I'm not a CPAP canidate. Sensitive to light. Suffered erythenum nodosum, I am short of breathe. And just chronic pain!!! I have a large panel of doctors I see every month. I have been on almost every medication for my disease and now have problems from being on those medications. I had a daughter born still in October, who I miss terribly everyday. Not sure if her death was due to my medications or disease. I hate being sick and wish we would of been more persistant when I was younger and first started showing symptoms. But I dealt with it and continued to work.
I have had one miscarriage, 2 living daughters ages 2 and 4 now, and one stillborn. All girls! :) I love my family very much and hope I'm here to see my girls grow up. I'm sick of medications and tests. I would much rather just play with my kids and enjoy each and every day then to travel to the doctors office. My kids and husband are healthy and happy and that's what gets me through the day. I love being outside, just have to watch how much sun exposure I get. But atleast I got to buy some cute hats!! LOL! I'm very positive, and feel there is a time and place for everything. A time to laugh, and a time to cry. My life has not been easy, and my hubby says I'm too hopeful and giving. But I think I can't take it with me so why not! It's truely like men and women are from such totally different planets!! Sometimes i wonder how I even stand my hubby's ingnorance, but I do love him so much! I don't know where I'd be without him! I finally get my disabilty hearing next month. Have waited almost 2 years. We are keeping our fingers crossed that I don't get denied again. I don't know how the system works for it has failed me so far. Not so sure I believe in God, but I do pray everyday that if he does exsist--that I will get better. If the pain would go away i would be fine with being sick! Well, gotta try and get my 8 minutes of sleep I get an hour!! Isn't that ridiculous! that's what they said I actually sleep every hour. No wonder I'm so tired! LOL!! Duh! well, had to end this on a happy note. That's my life the last 4 years or so!! :)

Well, I had 2 doctor appointments last week and 2 more this week. They think the marks on my skin are sarcoid lesions. 2 spots on my legs might need biopsy if the medicine doesn't get rid of them in 2 weeks. The dermatologist doesn't want to biopsy me if they don't have to because sarcoids patients don't heal well. Never heard that before but then asked my internal doc and she agreed. I'm going for a consult at the neurosurgion. They feel I need the tumor removed and biopsied. My symptoms are getting slightly worse again. I just want to get better. I guess there's alot of risks with brain surgery, but we will review that with the doctor. My hubby just had his vasectomy last week. Men can be such babies when it comes to their member! And to make matters worse, my husband left us 3 days after his vasectomy. I have since taken him back. He can't explain what happened or why he did it, but right now I need as little added stress as possible. I love him so much, but everyone thinks I should of never left him back. I just have to put this episode behind us and move forward. He signed custody of the children over to me, so as long as I know my girls are safe if he does this again, I can continue to fight for life. Not sure what my doctor was getting at on my last appointment but she said atleast I know I made a great impact and start to my children's life. She thinks I'm a remarkable woman. It felt good to hear, but I think I'm just me. I hope she doesn't think the end is near, for I have more I need to teach them yet about life. Well, that's my exciting week--always something! LOL!
I meant to comment on your family also....absolutely beautiful! Definately blessed in that area! :)
I have to say that it's very refreshing to hear that there's ANYONE else out there that feels the way I do. What really hit the hardest was your comment regarding the guilt you suffer that your children don't have a healthy mommy. I struggle with the guilt everyday that my daughter has to endure all of my health issues with me. Being a single mother, my daughter and I are VERY close and it pains me to no end at the realization of what she has to see and hear from me on a daily basis. Sometimes I cry (of course when she's not around) because my sweet, beautiful, energetic child got the short end of the stick when it comes to having a healthy mom. I think what scares me the most is that she will inherit any/all of these problems as I have from my mother/grandmother...and on down the line. I urge you to stay fervent in your prayers and I assure you that He is listening to you. That's the only advice I have for you (not that you asked for it) but I'm confident that without Him, it could and would be much worse. I will keep you in my prayers as well....it's amazing what strength in numbers can do. I wish you the best and know that you are not alone...vent away!! If nothing else, it relieves alot of stress. :)
