I'm an Advocate

Hi Geni,

Sorry I wasn't on when you were hping someone was awake, but I was awake! Just reading and watching TV, trying to relax to get to bed! LOL Welcome to the forum, and I hope you'll find it full of lots of great info and support, I'm sure you will.

*hugs*

Just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen.

I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help. I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days.

Something has changed within me/Something is not the same/I'm through with playing by/The rules of someone else's game/Too late for second-guessing/Too late to go back to sleep/It's time to trust my instincts/Close my eyes and leap...I'm through accepting limits/Cuz someone says they're so/Some things I can not change/But till I try I'll never know/Too long I've been afraid of/Losing love I guess I lost/Well if that's love/It comes at much too high a cost/I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity/Kiss me good-bye I'm Defying Gravity/I think I'll try Defying Gravity/And you won't bring me down...

Hi! welcome. I am / was having a VERY off week.. Blaming it on the full moon... Glad to have you.. Have actually been crashing early these days which is odd for me. Hope to see you around later as the nights go on, but if you/ I are lucky and we get some sleep, we won't see each other.. If that makes any sense at all. Gosh I hope so!

HAHA!!! Too funny... My 'may cause drowsiness meds' do the exact opposite..

Too bad eh!

I hope I sleep, had a rough day with an infusion at the hospital, now attached to yet another iv of saline as I am dehydrated so will probably be up all night anyways... Gotta love it
