I talked with my doctor…its not the end of the world. I just need to try to keep my immune system up, take some meds and take better care of myself. Right now I am not sick—I feel fine. Matter of fact, I may never get sick. Right now the ball is in my court—I need to do what is necessary to stay well.

I am sorry I am being evasive about the nature of this illness. I am not ready to discuss it. I am talking with my therapist about it this coming Thursday.

I do appreciate all the wonderful support I have received from the members here at PC. You all made it possible for me to survive a difficult weekend. I am truly touched by the amount of support I got…I knew I could count on PC members to help me out, but you all went above and beyond. Thank you so much.

As I said, today I feel fine. I feel fortunate that I have today and I am healthy—there are many out there who are sick or struggle with issues much worse than mine.

I'm so glad to hear that you are not in any immediate danger and that it only takes you taking good care of yourself to keep you from getting ill. Besides, you are so worth taking good care of!!

Thank you for keeping us updated. We have been worried about you. I'll continue to keep you in my prayers and send you positive thoughts and strength!

I'm so glad you received some good news. I have auto immune problems, too and have to be very, very careful.

One of the things my Drs have me do is carry hand sanitizer and use it often, especially after being in elevators, touvhing doors, etc. I also take a product called FloraQ. It's a probiotic formula that makes sure I have enough of the good stuff in my digestive tract.

I wish you the very best and hop you continue to feel well.

Hugs,

Jan

I know it is hard having to take meds & take special care just to continue having a normal healthy life......but soon, it just becomes part of life....second nature. I hope that whatever it is that is the problem doesn't actually develop since you are caring for yourself now & have a Dr to help you monitor your condition.

It is great to have the positive attitude that you are keeping.....that is the most important part of staying well.

Take care,
Debbie
