Updates coming soon

     I know it's been quite a few years since I blogged but I'm going to try to be better about it. I have gone through loss & depression in the last six years but I have also had some triumphs & happiness. 

    I'll give a brief 2015 rundown. I turned 40 in January. In April I went to the BBW beach bash with a friend of mine. I met some amazing people and had a lot of fun. I got out of my comfort zone and did a photoshoot with a photographer while I was there and actually had some great pics taken. I felt the closest to "normal" as I had in ten years at that point. I met a guy that I hit it off really well with and we remain friends now, five years later. I met my ex-bf there as well. It lasted almost a year and ended badly. 

        2016

    Most of 2016 was good. I broke up with the loser bf in September of that year then on November 19, 2016 I lost my dad suddenly to a massive heart attack. That was hard and I'll make a longer entry later on that this entry I'll keep short. After I lost my dad I gained a stalker. More about that later as well. 


        2017

    In January 2017 my brother moved in with my mom and I because he didn't like the idea of us being alone. Honestly my dad would be so happy about that. It's what he wanted. All of us together and taking care of each other. In June my Goddaughter moved in with us for a few months. There was good and bad in that. She moved out in October I think.


        2018

    2018 was a pretty boring year as far as I can remember. I met another loser bf. Went through a depression. Not sure what else off the top of my head.


        2019

    I lost my lil Piggy July 7th 2019. He was thirteen. He was the best dog I could have ever asked for and I still miss him terribly. I'll write more about it at a later date. My nurse got me my current dog in October of 2019. He was born August 8th and I got him October 5th. In November I took a trip to Ft. Lauderdale for the weekend with another loser. This time he was not my bf, just a loser I went on a couple of dates with. 

    That brings us to 2020, the year we would all like to forget. Now while this year as a whole has been crap. I did meet my current bf this year and he is amazing. It has been a hard year for everyone but we are making it through it. I'll update more in the future but for now I'll say good bye and always believe in the magic of life.

Diagnosis

Before I get into the diagnosis I MUST tell you about the funniest time I fell, it wasn't funny at the time but looking back it had to be spectacular. I had resorted to taking my book and purse to my car in the morning and going back into the house for my lunch and drink because it was too much to carry them all at the same time. So I was going back up the stairs of the deck (which had no rails) and my legs gave way and I took a nose dive off the edge of the deck and did a face plant into the dirt! I had on a skirt which was now over my head, my underwear got caught on the box hedge, my shirt had slid up over my chest and my face was about 6 inches from a fire ant hill! OMG what a sight I had to have been. I rolled over, adjusted my clothes and laid on the ground fuming, I knew I couldn't get up and I knew nothing was broken. No one was home and my cell phone was in my purse in the car 50 feet from me. Luckily the man who lived across the street was out walking

Highs & lows

SO much has happened since my last post, well this year actually and a lot of it is CIDP related so I should have been blogging about it but, well, I get distracted easily. To begin I've pretty much lost one of my best friends over something stupid. I'll just say I feel that she chose a blood feud over her friendship with me, she probably thinks I chose to be friends with her sworn enemy rather than her. Honestly, I needed help with something & went to the person I knew could help me. Plain & simple. So moving on. (sadly, the financial problems are because of CIDP, so you could say CIDP has caused me to lose ANOTHER friend...) I'll list my problems in my life with CIDP then I'll list the good things so I end on a happy note. I lost my favorite nurse last month. Not because she moved, retired, pissed me off or anything. I lost her because another person had a vendetta against her & moved heaven & hell to get her fired! I'm not going into specifics,

current 3/21/12

I just wanted to deviate from my history for a quick post and give an update on how I am currently doing. I was feeling good in 2009 and we (my Dr & I, not just her) decided to make some changes to my medications, some were good and some not so much.  I know you're probably thinking why change when you felt good? But as people who are on immuno suppressants know, they are bad for you in the long run so the lower the dose the "better" and if you can eventually get off them its even better. I was on 200mg of Cyclosporine daily and like I said I was feeling good, I didn't sleep much but I was ok with that but I developed a tremor in my left hand that I just couldn't take anymore. I was on Propronolol for it & it improved some but after a while it got bad again. So we decreased the Cyclosporine very slowly. like 25mg every 2 weeks so that we weren't giving my system a huge shock. If you have any kind of chronic illness you should know not to shock your sy
