    Thank you, Anne. it was not a fun time. I had no pain but that seem unimportant in the scheme of things. The day I lost my things I cried and cried because I knew things weren't right. I think I scared my family. They had never seen me despondent before. But I prayed and prayed that God would show me what to do. That's when I got sick, and knew to stop the meds. I was worried that all my pain would return but it didn't. After I was able to eat again (that took a week) my pain slowly returned. But I finally got my shot in my back and I am fine now. I missed talking but who knows what I would have said. it was that bad. So, I'm here and will continue to check and send encouragement where I can. I hope you saw my message about the Wi-Fi for our meeting. Take care of yourself, Anne. Kay

    No matter how bad things seem for us, someone can always tell us something that helps to put things in prospective. MeeeKat, I thought I was taking a lot of meds and it's down to 6 regular ones along with a new Insulin and with 4 others I take as needed. Hey, glad you truly understood what I was talking about. Let's keep close tabs on each other. Okay? Take care.

    Kaye, I really do understand what you went through.. I use to never say anything to anyone that was unkind, and I did allow people to walk all over me.. Now I say what i think, no matter what.. I don't want to but Seems I just can't help myself, I have had a lot of mini strokes and it did change me, plus all the meds I took, After I had my first main stroke, they had me on 10 High Blood Pressure meds, I am now down to 6. People just don't seem to understand when you have a mental problem, it is something they can't see, so they think you are just putting on..
    I am so glad they got you on the right track, because wrong meds can also damage your brain.. Am really glad you are back.

    Thanks again. Yeah, my mind was out there for awhile. I actually had taken a medication about 2 years ago that had me thinking suicide. Now anyone who knows me knows that is not me. I didn't tell anyone my thoughts but one day I just had to stop myself and ay, "Where is that coming from?!!" I went back and re-read the medication sheet for that drug and it did say it could cause suicidal thoughts. That was so weird for me. The one thing that I can say is that at some point I become aware and that is critical. Thank you for sharing with me! Lots of hugs to you!

    You are so right,Meerkat. I have dealt with chronic depression for many years. Those who do not know how horrid it can be think it doesn't exist. Thanks to a good Dr. & the proper meds my life is GOOD. Hope those who make "fun" of depression never have to deal with it.
