About Me

Hi, my name is Gail, I'm in my mid forties and live in the New England area.  I have four adult children from a previous marriage.  Two boys and a girl to be exact.  Since they have become adults my health has really taken a dive.  I suffer every day from all the ailments previously mentioned above.  I feel like I'm sleeping my life away really.  The only good thing about the sleeping, is that it takes my mind off the pain temperarily.  Between the migraines, pain, being extremely exhausted from doing absolutley nothing, it tends to make you depressed too.  (duh)...  I really use to enjoy doing yard work and gardening and creative art work and singing at karoake.  However, those activities just don't seem realistic anymore.  I try at times on the good days (which are very few) to go and try to enjoy those things which use to bring me pleasure, but it never lasts and then I pay the price afterwards.  I just don't seem to have a life anymore.  It's even difficult to keep up the household stuff now.  There just isn't enough energy there anymore.  It really kills me inside though, as I lay and think about the things I'd like to do, or have to get done.  I've pleaded my case with all of my physicians, so that I may have a somewhat productive life again.....but, there seems to be no answers that work for me.  So, I just go on, day by day by day......time just passing by and life along with it....I'm out of ideas, treatments, thoughts, suggestions and so on...

It seems that this is my lot in life from now on...
