MDJunction to me

sarahtroy"There's a special place in my heart for MDJ's Bipolars dealing with Alcoholism support group. As an alcoholic in recovery, it is my safe harbor. I draw strength and hope from our Bipolar alcoholics and addicts who bravely share their experiences and courageously face our common demons. This is a special, close and safe group to explore any alcohol or drug issues. I have made many dear friends and been sustained by the love and acceptance so freely offered." (sarahtroy)

Hello my dear friends, Thanks to all of you that sent me well wishes and prayers and PM's and hugs.

I had a mild stroke and I am very anemic also suffered deep depression.

I am much better now. Chip and Clara have been taking very good care of me.

I missed all of you so very much.

Much Love River

I am an RN with a current license since 1984....sheesh that's a long time....but that doesn't mean I am a DOCTOR
I dispense advice freely but you should take it with a grain of salt and do your homework and check with your doctor.
He gets paid more so he must know more. Right?

I am truly sorry your are reading my post, because it means you are here at MD Junction instead of out skydiving or deep sea treasure hunting or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.......

Empyema-
Fibeomyalgia
Hashimoto's
IBS=if you have to ask you don't want to know
severe osteo arthritis, spine/neck
DJD hips r knee some fingers
hypoglycemia, which is every bit annoying as hyper
otherwise not so serious if you pay attention
too many meds to count but for our purposes here:
Lyrica is back Yay!
Cymbalta
pain meds

Welcome back River. I am so glad you are feeling good enough to check in here, I have been worried since I heard you were hospitalized. I am glad that Clara and Chip are taking good care of you.

Hello River,

It's so good to see you back and posting. I didn't know about the stroke either. Chip just told me about the anemia and I knew about the depression and possible leukemia. When did you have the stroke? Oh yes, I heard about congestive heart failure from chip too, but nothing about a stroke.

I hope you are recovering quickly and well and you are back posting often.

Love and Hugs~

Christine
