Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Alva, no I don’t write here in order to keep a diary. You can’t guess what I’m going through. An unbelievably hard time. Sometimes I post about it, and even the slightest positive words from people here, have helped me a lot. We all need help, encouragement, sometimes. What is going on, is out of my control. But the friendly words from some people here, have always lifted me back up.
I am praying that you beat the C straight back to hell.
You take care and keep that feisty attitude.
Comments get taken down or edited all the time on this forum as everyone well knows. Suspensions happen too. I'm going to go ahead and say it though. Isthisrealyreal goes too far. She really does. If she doesn't like or agree with something she doesn't try to refute it in a civilized adult manner. She doesn't use plain speech to make a point (which can sometimes seem a bit rough). No, she goes after the person personally, attacks all of their previous posts and resorts to petty insults. I would not be surprised if AgingCare removed her profile permanently. She goes too far.
I always keep my message box cleaned out; that is to say if I get a private message I read, answer and delete. So my message box is always empty.
Today, ever single message I ever exchanged with RealyReal since before 2019 through of late popped right back into my profile inbox. And I had to delete them one at a time again.
Anyone else having messages reappear after elimination?
Like a wife, that has never even considered cheating, can trust a husband, that is a complete cheater.
Venting, it is good to see you back, but you come to us when you are hurting from the load of it all. I hope we are like your diary, those books we used to only write in when times were tough, then left to our kids so they could envision a life on "only tough" times. I once reread a mess of old diaries, then spent hours before the fireplace burning them up. I thought "I truly am NOT this unhappy a person; why would I leave this to my progeny". So no fun misery for them to look back on now I near the exit door.
Sorry, all to wordy. Now we know why it is best I limit myself to being up in questions for the most part. Because I put few other limits on myself!!!!! All take care.
Off. I always though that RR (realyreal) lived in AZ. and I have NO idea why. So she lives in LA area? Who knew. I guess I just thought "desert" because I have seen her discuss beautiful weather, cactus blooms, and I created my own AZ. myth.
As TO RR. I admit first of all to a sort of odd fondness in what started for us as a love-hate-love-hate relationship. I think as one of our long time regulars she gives solid advice. She's outspoken. Many of us are. I think I am. Burnt is. I don't accept she's gone and I suspect she is on an anonymous because someone got offended by some THING I missed, and the admins hit the block button. I think when we are REALLY gone then we don't show as anonymous or as anything at all, and back in the day when a bunch of people were shown the door EVERYTHING they ever said went with them. So I believe she's coming back to us; wouldn't have it any other way. Who will I argue with, otherwise? And who will still be so kind as to steer me to the Emus? And their oil.
Now on to the Forum itself.
Listen, our questions today--and cwillie, I am not the ONLY one with this conspiracy theory--are odd. VERY. Either it's full moon or we are A.I. invaded, or or or or. Some of the questions repeat "and amp" as in "&" over and over. Our keyboards don't do that. Some other stuff out there DOES. And the questions are too outlandish, some of them, to be real. Sorry. We have hovered before at the edge of the universe, but some today have tipped over? Am I wrong.
Like my area is cannabis capital of NY, it grows like weeds here. 😂. But I've had to learn to not talk about it because, other areas are like 😲

According to the internet there is this about dipnech cancer:
"DIPNECH has an indolent course and only rarely leads to respiratory failure or death; progression to overt neuroendocrine tumor (carcinoid) of the lung occurs in a minority of patients. Of available therapies, somatostatin analogs and mechanistic target of rapamycin inhibitors are the most promising."
I am quite fascinated, as I am an old retired RN, a cancer survivor (so far!) times two, and never heard of this cancer. From the little I can find your MD is correct, but I certainly would be the last to know anything much about this cancer. I wish I had more for you.
Admins: I am also hoping this post from Deb can move up to questions, somehow. Self-reporting.
I have lost all motivation and limited to reading and watching tv.Visits with friends and relatives limited,because I feel nauseous all the time. What can I do to regain momentum? i don’t know what is causing my lack of motivation and my fatigue. Hypothyroidism,
medications and see endocrinologist every six months. Clinical depression,now on meds I think are making me nauseous. Is this just part of aging? I’m 70,but before surgery felt like I was 50. My husband is 75.
way too long a post, but can anyone help? Does dipnec do this to body? Nobody,including my doctors know how to treat it. Thoracic surgeon diagnosed it and called in oncologist…who tells me not to worry about it.
