Hey all, soopergirl here! I just wanted to let you all know that I am still alive. I know I haven't been on here much in the last couple of weeks and that is because I have been getting progressively worse.

I have missed you all so much and I really miss talking to everybody and being there for those in need. I am going to try to get on and chat as often as I can and hopefully I will be able to start helping others soon.

A quick update on how I am doing and what is going on: I am now suffering with kidney issues. I am in a lot of pain and my joints are huge and swollen. My thyroid is slowly getting back to where it should be but other issues have come to take that spot. I am currently on by 12th infection this year and my sinus infection is so bad that the liquid is in my inner ear. I also have a bad cough and I am just praying that it doesn't turn into anything worse.

Most antibiotics dont work for me any more and I am allergic to amoxicillan so that takes out another chunk of options. I am very weak and have lost 30 pounds in the last two and a half months. The pain is so bad that I am nausiated and have a hard time eating. Thing aren't looking too good for me, but I know that God is watching over me.

Some happy news is that I am back with the man that I love and we have worked out our issues. I love him and he is such a great support. We are also excited for my dad to finally be retiring from the military. He will be retiring in June, exactly 28 years from when he first entered. He was supposed to retire after 20 years, and we are so happy that he is finally getting out.

Well, I look forward to getting on here as much as I did before I started to get more ill. I love you all and you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I also want to welcome all of the newer people that I haven't spoken to yet. Welcom to the family!!! I cant wait to get to know you.

Thanks for all of your love and support. If any of you need anything or want more explanation on my current condition, feel free to pm me. In the next couple of days I will be going through the forums and reading, replying to them. I will try to be quick about it and get back to any of you who are waiting for a response from me asap.

Remember that you are all loved and that God is watching over all of us. He loves us so much and he gives us all challenges because he knows we can do it. hugs and kisses

Much love,

soopergirl

a day without laughter is a day wasted.

welcome back soopergirl and glad to hear about your man and your dad. sorry about the way you feel. the sinus thing into the ears seems to be going around and it seems that those who take antibiotics don't do any better then those who don't. good luck.

many fibro huggs to you

teri
